Sorry I don't know anything about these things.
Do they sell them in the UK?
Do not put them in before sex!! Well not if you want to have a baby. You insert them after sex to hold the sperm close to cervix for as long as you want to wear it. THat's what i been told, it's not scientificaly proven to but quite a few ladies got their bfp from using them this way. They are a little tricky to insert at first so I would practice first before you really use them. Read this thread from the beginning and you'll see the videos ppl posted to help explain. Hope this helped!
Thanks, I just wasn't sure how they worked or anything, so sorry if it seemed like a dumb thing I was saying, lol.

Does anyone know if these are sold in the UK?

No questions is a dumb question!! You won't find the answer unless you ask! I am sure you can get them in the uk , but not sure where. I"m sure someone will post soon to answer that.

Hi Butterfly - yes they do sell them in the UK - I got some from www.expresschemist.co.uk can't remember how much but they came quickly. You put them in after sex to keep the swimmers in. I've used them for first time this cycle and am really hoping for a . They look massive and really daunting when they arrive but just follow instructions on how to put in - I put them in lying down so I don't let the swimmers out!! Pushed it backwards and downwards at same time. Left it in overnight (you can leave for up to 12 hours) had difficulty getting it out first couple times but third time it was easy!! I didn't ever reuse them - used a fresh one each time.

Anyway good luck if you do decide to use them xx

Thanks, yeah they do look pretty scary to use, lol.
Good luck, hope you get your BFP xx

I wonder if there are any other things that could also be used to hold the sperm in?

Thanks butterfly

Well some people have recommended preseed - think I'm going to give it a go next cycle if I'm not pregnant this. My OH has low motility so I need all the help I can get keeping them in there.

The softcups are scary and I hate putting my fingers inside me(sorry way too much TMI) but hopefully it will be worth it xx

Well I'm all for the softcups because I got my BFP this morning. I can't quite believe it and I'm soooooo over the moon. Myself and the hubby had been trying for three months and on the fourth we used the softcups and now I'm preggers woohoo.

So softcups really work? I lookd on the internet, they sell them for your period, are there different ones for keeping the soup in the bowl? Or they are the same, you just use them for different purpose?
