well officially 1-2 dpo now! hoping the soft cups did their job. i used both the soft cups and bd every other did since cd10 including the day of my positive opk and then the next day after!! long 2ww here we come!
I used the softcup for its intended purpose, for menstrual bleeding, and things did not go as expected. After a few hours, and after moving a certain way, loads of blood poured out of the cup. If I was not wearing a pad, then the undies would have gotten soaked.
Maybe I did not insert it correctly? This worries me because maybe this means I did not insert it correctly for trying to conceive? Then again, the bleeding was heavier than normal, maybe because of taking B50 complex.
I'll have to watch the video again about inserting the Softcup properly.

Yeah, maybe I didn't push it back far enough. Next time I'll make sure I tried to feel my cervix after putting it in.I've used softcups for AF and have never had a problem, and I have a very heavy flow the first two days. If I don't push it back far enough I can kind of feel it when I stand up, so I just push back further behind the pubic bone and haven't had any leakage that way, for AF or after BD.
Did you ever try to feel your cervix through the softcup after you put it in, to make sure that it is in the right spot? Sometimes I do that when I am not 100% sure that it's in right.
