  • It could also be related to how your cervix changes over your cycle, but that baffles me because surely gynecologists would know that and try to time things correctly if it made things easier for women.

    Do they time it based on your cycle at all?

    Close to ovulation, your cervix goes really soft and opens up, close to your period it changes position, goes really firm and closes.

    I haven’t gotten an IUD so I have no personal experience with the process, but I imagine that trying to put an object through the cervix into the uterus would be best done at ovulation when your cervix is open. And probably extremely difficult and painful to try to do when your cervix is shut tight.








  • I agree, I would have thought Australia would have very high levels of swimming proficiency compared to other countries. The article doesn’t seem to mention other countries, just the drop in participation/interest within Australia.

    1 in 4 schools dropping swimming carnivals is really suprising to me. I’ve got 2 kids, and my oldest has been to quite a few schools due to us moving around a bit, and every single one of them had swimming lessons and carnivals.

    Though I’m not suprised that parents are less interested or supportive. My husband and I both work full time, often both do overtime, and schools and daycare can be a little overwhelming at times with all of the events and things that require some level of extra thinking or planning or shopping or crafting on our part.
