Softcups Users: The NEW Official Testing Thread 2010; 16.7% SUCCESS RATE FOR JUNE!

[LaPinska]

oh okay good then! Can't wait to try again. I will admit i totally couldn't imagine trying to use them for my period especially at the beginning of it, what a mess that would be!

I have no idea when i will ovulate as I am irregular but when I do I will be back with my testing date for sure!! I have a lot of confidence in these little things. My husband has a condition called hypospadias so when he ejaculates it doesn't always reach my cervix, so I am pretty sure that keeping the guys up there has been part of our problem all along. Hopefully this will do the trick! FX!!

Liana woo hoo to seeing your hubby!! Will he be with you right up to Ovulation?

 

[Titi]

Good morning and welcome new girls!

Lapinksa-It is definitely easier when you are not dry and sometimes I use sperm friendly lubricant in and around it also to help. Also-make sure you are pushing in BACK and then DOWN rather than up up up. I think the majority of insertion problems (and removal) come when the girls treat it like a tampon. It definitely needs to go back as far as possible and then down a little.

wanting, thank you for the PMA hun no he won't. i have o'ed CD16 & CD17 last two cycles but i'm so nervous i will o before i see him. sigh. guess i can't change my body though i get to see him CD15,16,17 so we will get a the day before o and all through CD16 & CD17 i'm sure. using softcups and pre-seed and DH agreed to "release his spermies" before he sees me so they aren't old and stuff. woot woot!

 

[Jaimie2Eyes]

That is awesome nevertogether - love that your DH is going to "release" to make sure his supplies are fresh for when he sees you.

I really feel for ya - my DH and I were apart all through our 3 year engagement. He was living in Tucson and I was in grad school in NY. Hope you ov around your usual time and that you get to "see" him on all the right days.

 

[nevertogether]

jaimie - thank you so much. i know a lot of girls relate and i love getting support from you all. it means a lot!

blimey, i ve had a hard time getting them out this time round. didnt have any problems when i was trying for callum, think the forceps messed me up. lol

 

[LaPinska]

Thanks, Titi!

I thought about trying preseed but i don't have any cm issues, i get enough ewcm around ovulation that it makes it hard for dh to get the job done. I get too wet if you know what I mean lol. I do check cp and stuff like that for charting so I have a fairly good idea of how it should go in, I just tried it at the wrong time i guess. I'm impatient what can I say!

I am also trying Soy for the 3rd time this cycle on top of using the cups. This is our 36th month TTC if no luck in a cycle or two I will be giving clomid a try.
I really do think the cups will work though im crossing my fingers tight!

 

[blessedmomma]

good luck Lapinska! i get enough too but i use preseed around the rim to get in in easier

 

[Titi]

Oh wow Lapinksa-36 months-bless you.........I was finding 20 cycles so hard!!!

 

[goldimama]

So I'm trying the cups. They are so HUGE! The first time I used one, I thought it went in OK. But since I just went to sleep after, I thought it was secure since there wasn't much leakage. But this time, we BD'd in the am, and it didn't feel secure going in. I've tried to re-arrange it, but it can't go back any further, so I assume it's in as far as it can go. But I'm still having quite a bit of leakage (sorry TMI). Does this sound normal? Does anyone else still get droplets of stuff continuously?

 

[SquirrelGirl]

I think leakage is pretty common. I know I get some leakage when up walking around. But it does help keep a good amount of stuff up there.

 

[Jaimie2Eyes]

Titi - yet another stellar profile pic!!!

 

[Titi]

aw thanks sweetie peety!

 

[mushypea]

Goldimama - I have had the leakage problem once this month and I am pretty sure they are going in OK - as they kind of get sucked in (TMI)!

 

[blessedmomma]

GOD IS SO GOOD!!!!! im on

[goldimama]

Thanks for the responses ladies! I do think it is working. Still in the trial phase, since I'm not due for O for another week or so.

Blessedmomma- Congrats! That's such awesome news! Lots of sticky babydust for your little bean. Have a H & H 9.
