Hi I'm on my 2nd cycle using them. Currently 1-2dpo I will testing at 8 dpo on the 21st

 

[Amber_Lynn822]

I updated :] I've heard so many GREAT things about instead soft cups! I hope this is our cycle!!!

 

[momwannabe81]

I'm soooo hoping it is. I had ovulation bleed for the first time so hopefully the sperm meets the egg. I had the ob on Thursday and received donor sperm Friday morning so hopefully was within the window. Ff says I ovulate Thursday or Friday so I hope it was in time. Of course its saying it off my temps which aren't very stable as I work days and nights. Ugh so frustrating I'm scared I ov Thursday and didn't catch it in time.

This will be my first cycle using Soft Cups.....testing on June 17th (if I hold out that long!!!)

I hope you did :] I'm not testing to see when I ovulate, just doing a lot of probably too much, lol.

I know... I never hold out as long as I say I will, I get too excited :/

Hi! I am using softcups this cycle. Could you add me? I would be testing around the 28th-29th.

[wanabeamama]

i just used soft cups for the first time today and i just got a smiley face on a digi opk so here goes fingers crossed for us all im also using conceive plus

 

[Jess137]

Good luck hun! FX'd for you! (And all of us!)

I am going to try using them this month but AF is being naughty and is only spotting at the moment. Hoping she starts soon. I am getting impatient! (never thought I would ever say that about my period until I started TTC)

 

[MarcsMrs]

Good Luck xxxxxxxxx Hope this works for you xxxxxxx

 

[wanabeamama]

how long is everyone going to keep it in after bd'ing??? ive had mine in for 7hrs now :/

 

[Jess137]

If it's before I go to bed I just take it out in the morning. Last night though, I put it in right after, then (TMI warning) had the big O after to suck it up there, then I only left it for a couple of hours. The only stuff in it when I took it out was some watery liquid, so I assume all the stuff got where it needed to go. When in doubt though, leave it in as long as you want up to 12 hours.

Hey ladies, I'm going to be TTC for the first time this month, also trying with soft cups! I'll be testing on June 6th

Any of you ladies happen to be in Canada? I'd love to go out and buy them vs. having to order online. Any success finding these in Shopper's Drug Mart or Walmart? I've heard they can also be called Diva Cups? Would love to know if any of you have found them locally in the greater Toronto area.

Thanks in advance and baby dust to everyone!

 

[Jess137]

I live in the US but I buy mine at Walmart. I would assume they carry the same products at a Walmart in Canada. Diva Cups are a reusable brand, but from what I can tell you can only get them online. Plus I don't like the idea of having to clean it out and use it again.

 

[MarcsMrs]

Diva Cups are different to Soft Cups.....the Diva Cups sit lower & so are not really helpful when TTC as they dont keep the sperm as close to the cervix as Soft Cups do!

I'm using pre-seed, but it's so "slippery" how's conceive plus?

I leave mine in overnight, we usually have sex at night, so about 12 hours?
