Aidensmommy- Sorry AF got you I know you're looking forward to these next few cycles. I hope it all goes well for you. And thanks for the advice on the tests. If I get AF, I will keep that in mind for next cycle. I'm not upset or anything, but it does cause a lot of stress. I am still at the point where I'm fine with a few more months of TTC, but what bothers me is all the energy I waste in trying to find answers each month. It's so exhausting.
I did try out a fun little tweak, which I call my "Evap progression" Lol. I feel like I'm being annoying by posting these tests so you can see it on my POAS thread if you wish.
Hello everyone
Soooo, we did insemination this morning
I had to drive to donors house and it took me two hours! Almost didn't make it before he goes to work. But we had about 10 minutes, so he did it quick, I put it in softcup, put it inside and stayed on his couch for about hour laying down. His boyfriend was home too and made me coffee...we had nice chat. I ended up sleeping for two hours and than going home, because I worked night before.
My donor and his boyfriend have been together for about 23 years..
Question: How do you know softcup is in the right place? I put semen in it and some preseed...how do I know cervix is covered????
I tried to play in there a little (sorry TMI) to spread whatever is in sofcup))
Also, I still got little leakage. so now I am not sure if cervix got covered or not.....

I just did my first cycle using soft cups - I put it in after sex, so I'm sure having a little leakage is only natural trying to get a full cup inside - as long as it is in and as straight as possible (i have a hard time getting it over my pubic bone) I think you're good - I do kegal like squeezes too once it is in - as opposed to when you have sex and then seminal fluid leaks out of you afterwards, I think the softcup is helpful no matter what lol. Hope this is your cycle!!

Aidensmommy, that sounds like a horrible thing to go through! And a horrible thing to endure. There really should be a law that if people are infected with some sort of STD, they should be required to tell you. But then you deal with PHI and yada yada and stupid stuff like that, so I can't imagine they'd ever be able to enforce it.
But - judgement day, right? He'll face his own.
