in ur name says ur using maca? what is it? we used clomid but caused our ectopic, and was meant to be lap and dye end of the month but need teeth out next monday and am moving but not sure be able to get lap done with all going on. plus had/have flu.

I have both Pre and Preseed. The Pre is for him to put on himself.... and the Preseed is for you to put up there in advance. We sometimes use both. when it isn't babymaking time, we use only the Pre. We like it, but I can see why you'd be disappointed if you didn't get what you wanted to order!!

 

[lynne192]

do you think i should still use it anyways

 

[ttcbaby117]

maca is a food that is only found in peru.....so they make it in pill form and powder. It is known to enhance fertility and regulate hormones. There is a maca thread on bnb you can search for. But you can also google it and read about it.

Hiya girls. I have the pre and the preseed............the difference hun is that the pre is made to compliment the preeseed as an "outside" lube. So you use the preseed inside and then if you want extra sperm safe lube for him, etc...you use the pre.

As far as the softcup itself goes-you really need to pull it straight forward-never down.
So, if you are sitting on the loo, bear down as advised, and then pull it straight ahead of you like horizontally making a line over the toilet seat. If you do this the cup stays upright, it comes out easy and no spilling. I think people try to pull down like a tampon which causes the trouble.

And yes-the first time I saw them I was like CRIKEY!!!! DH and I were laughing at the size of it. And the funny thing is when you also buy a diva cup they have an "extra large" for OVER thirty year olds. I wanted to die. Nobody told me I had an extra large vagina b/c I'm old.

Anyway-its amazing how they just pop right in there though and you can't even feel it!

af just got me so out for another month. I noticed that I I am still up for may stats as well as june - def out for both of those!

I WILL be getting my softcup bfp on July 12th though!!!!! I love softcups and will keep using them. I toy with the idea of using them out of the fertile window because I love the no-drippage factor, but always convince myself to save them for when I really need them!

 

[Titi]

aww soph. : (

I will update both months. I haven't gotten a bfp with the softcups yet and have been on this thread since almost the beginning-I think they def. will help me and that something else is wrong.

thanks hun, checked it out but can't seem to find anywhere in uk that sells it on its own. will check it out more in the future already on a huge cocktail and not sure what adding maca will do to me lol.... used softcup today and werid question to all

Has anyone had problems peeing after using softcups?

 

[Titi]

Hi Lynn, Did you try health food stores? We have WHOLE FOODS here. I get my maca by itself in both a powder form and a liquid extract.

Also-never had any problems peeing-sorry.

Thanks girls for updating-I'm sorry about that blasted witch.

 

[lynne192]

ended up having to take out the soft-cup couldn't peee and then ended up with terrible stomach pains now sure if many i put it in terribly wrong, i put it in like it says and it poped in dead easily, had it in for like 40mins to and hour-ish so hopefully that helped a little, going to try again later.

Hi ladies, AF got me on the 10th June & I was 2/3 days late, thought it was my lucky month! Anyhow already have ordered more softcups & preseed for this month & thinking of trying grapefruit juice (yuck)

Tried to use the softcup on the 2nd day of AF. I thought I had inserted it correctly but within 40 mins needing to go wee their was blood on my panties! It was messy to insert it & disgustingly messy to remove it, my fingers were covered in blood as I couldn't get the rim to pull it out..it was a nightmare, used a tampon which was much easier for me!

I tried a softcup for the tail-end of af when I first got them and I have to say that I didn't like it at all! There was not much blood but I still got it on my fingers - yuck.
I get a bit of semen on my fingers when I pull out a softcup after bd but semen = good and blood = bad!!
Tampons for af for me!!!

Titi, can you please put me new testing date of 12th July up for me! Thanks hun.
