Are softcups hard to use? I'm so interested but can't find anywhere in London that sells these????? Does anyone know if I go docs or family planning to get these? O wow I can't imagine how great the feeling is of getting a bfp I just pray for the day 

 

[nevertogether]

have you tried ebay?

 

[Manipularxxx]

No lol I didn't know whether I could trust somewhere like that for softcups

 

[nevertogether]

i bought mine off ebay and they were fine. still packaged and sealed.

 

[Manipularxxx]

They are available on eBay but I don't have an account and the only person I know is my hubbys Sis and we do not talk about anything like that lol

Hi ladies. I didn't originally see this thread, but wanted to tell you that I got my BFP on my second cycle of using Softcups! I got it on June 27. I also squirted a little pre-seed into the soft cup before inserting it. It took me a long time to get my other 2 BFP's. I think soft cups is why I got it so quickly this time. Good luck to everyone!!

 

[SquirrelGirl]

Congratulations, Heart Tree! I think maybe I'll try putting preseed into the cup too... I put it in me before DTD, but I've never put anything in the cup.........

 

[heart tree]

Thanks! Yes, I put it in before BD'ing but then squirt a little into the cup and spread it around before inserting. I read a woman who looked at sperm under a microscope that was in pre-seed and she said they were alive and swimming like crazy! I figured it couldn't hurt. Good luck!

blessed - that is so awesome. gives me hope that DH and i caught the eggy since we used them this cycle

 

[blessedmomma]

i hope so hun! they def worked for us. if we decide on more i will use them, but this is #5 so highly unlikely, lol
good luck ladies, im praying for you all!

oh titi- adorable pic!

 

[heart tree]

Hi Blessed! Yes, I'm definitely planning to use them again for the next one! Catch those eggies girls!

heart tree - it made me so happy when i read your bfp on the soy ladies glad to hear it's going well

 

[heart tree]

Thanks Never! I'm not sure if it was the soy or soft cups, or maybe a combo. It worked though! I really hope July is your month! Your chart looks AWESOME! When are you testing?

 

[nevertogether]

hey hun - awesome, i did all that too and MORE. lol. just because it was our 2nd shot of the year and last until november. figured it wouldn't hurt to make myself a walking experiment. well, i was testing 14th july because FF predicted CD17 O and that would be 14 day LP for me, day of AF. however, i was bored and put in three more temps because i got a today to see if maybe FF would flash preggo or something and well, it moved my O date to CD20 which actually would make more sense with my temps and opk's (and the BFN because that would mean i'm only 8DPO)..and actually makes my chart look EVEN better. so i guess i have to wait and see what my temps do. might still test the 14th though as even if that's not the date of AF's arrival, it will be 11DPo based on CD20 o date. hope that all made sense

 

[heart tree]

Yes, it made sense! Well, if it helps, I usually get AF at 12dpo. I tested at 13dpo and got a BFN. I got my BFP at 16dpo. So even if you get a BFN on the 14th, don't give up!!

 

[nevertogether]

awww thanks honey!! we will see.. DH and i HOPE he can come home on deployment break to me and a baby bump if it was CD20 too it would be PERFECT as well because due date would be RIGHT when DH gets back from deployment
