MAY we all be blessed with baby! May 2013 and beyond (BFFs Seeking BFPs)

[ALiKO]

i agree with the "i need success stories..." thread. reading the different stories were inspiring. i also posted my story on there some months ago. the great thing is, the woman who initially started the thread and thought it would never happen is now pregnant .

 

[Lazydaisys]

Prowife, hoping the the progesterone is going to help you and you will get your bfp soon. X

 

[pathos]

Nikkilucky, isnt it already monday there? Gl gl gl with the

I somehow managed to insert the soft cup, , I hope I can also manage to take it out eek!

 

[Hopeful2014]

@ALiKO I agree; it's wonderful to see that so many of the ladies from that thread are on their way now.

@pathos Good luck with the soft cup! I think they are so neat, but I think I would have trouble with it too.

@omgbaby Any news?



How is everyone? Good, I hope. I hope some warm weather is finding you all or that it will soon. I'm enjoying the sunshine. I really do think it improves my mood. However, I did have a bit of allergies yesterday. We've got a busy week with birthdays, events for my niece, and appointments. I really love this time of year though.

 

[pathos]

It think it stuck I cant remove it.
Ok I litrally gave birth to my diva cup, omg! Phewww.

hahaha! . i thought about that before about soft cups like how would i get this thing out. . i dont mean to laugh but that was funny

 

[athena87]

I never had problems getting out my softcup. I just hooked it with my finger and pulled it out.

 

[River54]

I had issues getting mine out...I had to lie down and get it at the right angle...before I had a chance to hook it.

 

[Lazydaisys]

I had serious issues with my soft cup. It had sucked itself to me like a clam! Once I'd calmed down I did remove it but it's put me off the cups. X

 

[Hopeful2014]

@pathos Oh no! I'm glad you were able to get it out. I am so nervous about that type of thing. I imagine it gets harder to remove if you panic too, which I might do in that case.

@River54 How are you?

 

[momwithbabies]

I'm too terrified to even try those!!! I'm too big of a chicken to try them

I'm pretty down today. My mom's dog is going to be put to sleep tomorrow morning. Its our Spring Break down here, so that's been nice, but the dog news has been terrible. He's 13 and has lived a good life, though. It's hard seeing my parents cry. It breaks my heart!

I hope you ladies are enjoying your week so far. Yesterday, our weather was beautiful, but today is soooooo windy! I have no idea what DPO I am, as I didn't get clear ovulation signs as I usually do. I would guess I'm about 11 DPO, but I've had some EWCM the last couple of days (just like once a day) so I have no clue. But since I'm on a break, I shouldn't be thinking about that, right? Lol! I'm nuts!

I love soft cups (for their normal use). I've never had an issue with them at all.

I tried to use them after BD, but I ended up finding most of the fluids on the outside of the cup, wrong side. Haven't used it since then for that purpose.

 

[nikkilucky77]

Well af got me this morning. Oh well I figured it would show up. On to next month

Pathos: You make me laugh...so are you against soft cups now?

Prowife: I agree...I use them for normal use and it is nice. I also have used them for bd and it was nice to not have that "gush" feeling.

Hopefully everyone is doing great

 

[ProfWife]

Nikki - I'm surprised more people don't know about it. One of my friends coaches club swim and I just told her about them this week (she hates tampons...but swimming doesn't give a whole lot of options).

 

[pathos]

I used my diva cup once again, - i murmured myself challenge accepted in a B. Stinsonian way
and I could remove it within 5 minutes. first time it was 2 hours trying to catch the grip. the difficult part was to break the vacuum seal, i think i pinched myself a lot. I also bought myself puder free gloves, eeek I cant resist feeling the wavy structure down there, squating and pushing as if delivering a baby helped

Ay profwife does not it getty messy when they are used during mens? I also cannot understand how it helps tcc, the little soldiers were at the bottom of the cup hmm.

Nikkilucky, sorry for the af, hope this new cycle brings you your bfp!
Momwithbabies (, sorry for the pet friend. I cant even image how difficult that can be

 

[ProfWife]

The vaginal walls actually close when nothing is in there. So, the theory is that the baggie part of it will compress and the swimmers will be in more contact with the CM and cervix. I'm not totally sold on the idea, as I said above.

It's not overly messy as a menstrual cup if you're steady handed and know your limits. Even though they are marketed for 12 hours, I know about 6-7 is my max limit most days or it does get messy to handle.


Oh ladies...if anyone ever heard us in public. I'm TOTALLY not this open in real life. Beauty of computers, right?

 

[athena87]

I never used them for my period, but I did use them after bd. like nikkilucky I liked the no gush thing. I used them the cycle I got my bfp. Not saying they're the reason why but I do think they helped.

 

[Hopeful2014]

@momwithbabies I'm so sorry to hear about your parent's dog. I know it's so hard to lose pets especially when they seem like part of the family. It's so hard not to think about ovulation signs and all the things our bodies do. I hope you're able to enjoy the rest of your break.

@nikkilucky77 I'm sorry about af. I've always wondered what soft cups would be like. I'm probably too scared to use them.

@ProfWife I only heard about them a few years ago when I saw a free sample posted online. I never knew there were other options. I don't think I could use tampons either. I am not the best about inserting/etc. 6-7 hours does seem like a nice long time though. I am never this open either. I imagine we would all be sat around a big table, enjoying dinner, and blushing and/or laughing when people walked past us.

@pathos Challenge accepted! Nice reference!

 

[River54]

Hopeful - I am still around
Our first IVF failed, so they have me on CoQ10 and prescription DHEA for the next couple months. Seems there is a decent chance of natural pregnancy while waiting though
So, we have to go in for tests next cycle, basically updated BW. I am supposed to tell them when af comes in end of May/beg June time frame, then we can start up stuff again.

Going across the country next week, so dd can have a campus tour, as it is her spring break starting next week...We had soo wished for a baby already so that there wouldn't have been any gaps from one leaving to having another...but, things don't seem to be working out that way.

It would be nice for these supplements to work and get a surprise bfp in the next month or so though

Not much with side effects either. I seem to have more energy to do things, and then also actually get a really good night sleep without waking up too much - which is awesome. I am not as cold either. Though the days that I overdo it because I feel I can, the next day I am sooo tired...

 

[Lazydaisys]

Just been catching up on here. It's amazing what we talk about!

I've just been sharing my clomid side effects with half of bnb and it's not pretty.

Hope to have a birth story one day that I can share with anybody who will listen and they will get the whole ttc rigmarole! Lol xxx



Going for my scan on Friday to see if I have any foliciles. I felt a bit of twinge on my right side, hoping for two juicy ones but more worried about my thin thin lining.

I been drinking raspberry leaf tea, pomegranate juice and eating loads of nuts and taking oestrogen tablets. Grow lining grow!!
