Sorry for not responding to your topic, but since I do self-insemination, I figured I may do things differently than the others. I posted a reply in the softcup topic, but I'll post my post here also:

My testing date for August was August 31, 2010, and My testing date for September was September 24, 2010.

Hey medicine, how did you go about using the softcups and pre-seed? I started a thread with a question on it but no one is answering.


Thanks!

I do self-insemination using donor sperm, so the way I do it may be different from the way others who BD with their OH's do it.

I first insert pre-seed into me and then I place the donor sperm into the softcup and then add some pre-seed to the softcup and kind of mix the sperm and the pre-seed around a little.

Then I insert the softcup the way the video on the softcup website shows. There are two videos that are helpful, one is on the softcup website, and then another one is on youtube.

Two Videos for how to insert the Softcup Properly:

So, for inserting softcup, I first squeeze softcup on the sides and then sit on the toilet first and then insert it slowly by pushing it in and down. But before I sit on the toilet, I lift the toilet seat up and then place a large towel or something over the opening of the toilet and then lower the toilet seat back down. I do this just in case the sperm-filled softcup falls while am trying to insert it. So if there is a towel there instead of nothing, then if it falls, then it will fall onto the towel instead of falling into the water of the toilet, and that sample won't be wasted. So I push softcup in as far as possible to be sure that it is behind the pelvic bone. I then use my finger to feel under the softcup to make sure it is under my cervix. The cervix should feel like the tip of the nose. I then leave it in for however long. Some people leave it in overnight, some leave it in for a 8 hours, but I think the recommended maximum time to leave softcup in is 12 hours.

Now if you are BD with your OH, I think the women who do this have their own methods of using softcup and preseed. I think after they BD with their OH, they somehow insert softcup while still lying down on their backs, but I'm not sure. Some have methods to be sure that the sperm gets placed inside softcup. I'm sure many of the women here can tell you how they do it.
