TTC# 3 Soft Cup and Preseed

[babypink87]

Hey everyone I have already tried for the last couple months to get pregnant and the first month was not a good month because my AF was getting back to normal but I was sure I was this last cycle but nope AF reared her ugly face
but I am keeping on. I have heard of using preseed and soft cups and I believe I will try this on this upcoming cycle has anyone heard any good success stories on these? If so how do they or yourself use these items to help with conception? I really do not want to have to use clomid again but I will on the fourth cycle if this does not work, but figure I give it a try on its own first. Right now I am in the middle of AF so very very soon I will be ovulating which I usually do on cylce day 11.

Hope to hear from someone soon lets get this thread jumping with good TTC conversation I would love to share my journey with others and get good advice before I start again on another cycle....

I have no information for you but will "bump" your post to see if anyone else does. Baby dust to all!!!

I started using softcups for the first time this month. I am 7dpo, so unknown this month was a success. I have been using the preseed, I like it and so does DH. However, I will tell you that I only use 1g of it (they recommend up to 4g) and it is almost too much. Especially if you get good CM around ovulation. So this month with the softcups I would have one opened and ready by my night stand. Then after BD, I would just lay on my back for a few minutes then go to the bathroom and put it in. Then I would pee because it's just habit. I must say that the cups work really well because I never experienced any spillage. I used them at night to hold in everything....A few times I would put some preseed in the cup before I put it in for extra "sperm food." I have heard of people having success with both. And there's an added bonus of staying mess free throughout the night! In the morning, I would take it out over the toilet or in the shower to keep from making a mess.

Good luck! I hope it works out for you! I am definately going to keep using them if this cycle doesn't work out.

Please let me know what happens if you get BFN or BFP and I really hope for the better. I am still in the wait for ovulation so I trying to gather as much info as possible and I have heard so many good things about the soft cup and preseed method many others only use that 1g to 2g as you did because they said it would be too much. I think I am going with that as well.

Ok will do!!! I also took bromelian for 1-5 dpo. It's the same as eating pineapple core, supposed to help with implantation.

I would love to know also....some women say the softcup blocks the sperm..and tmi but how do you make sure its in when your laying down after BD...lol and part of me is like "what if i cant get it out!" haha

When I used these I always inserted right after BDing while still laying in bed it was very easy and you just tuck it behind your pelvic bone as you would over the toilet or whatever. Even easier to get out you just insert your finger like a lil hook once you get to it and pull very very easy

Thank You I guess Im just weird, and think of the things that could go wrong lol. So were you using them for awhile?

I will be using this method on my next cycle as well. I too have used the pre seed before and found 1g to be PLENTY !

(Angel) The soft cup, as i understand it, works on the same principle as the Nuva Ring (or a diaphragm) it's flexible, you fold it (or the outer ring i suppose) in half, tilt it up and insert it and it opens and sits inside your cervix (it's supposed to catch menstrual blood, so it wouldn't be outside the cervix) and just like a tampon, even if it were to move there's really no where for it to go. I assume, like a tampon, it could really only end up on the inside if you forgot about it and it was pushed in via BDing again. Hope this helps. Also i can't offer any advice on using this method i will let you all know next month, or this month if my order comes in before O day lol

 

[angelfacek]

thanks, just willing to try anything at this point lol

No I only used them for one cycle but that was because of other things going on and stopped ttc at the time. If I dont get a bfp within a few months I willtry them again

So I got an update I went to my health food store and this lady has been running it forever and I mean literally she is around 90 or so now...lol...she told me of how her daughter-n-law TTC for four years and so she gave me a super e complex and vitamin pill with beta yam 900 and elexia plus. She says the vitamin e is to help support miscarriages from happening and such and to use the beta yam after ovulation for it is progesterone cream and the elexia is to get me in the mood lol. She also gave my DH a testosterone booster and another pill to get him in the mood as well I will also be using the preseed and soft cup which I have already started the preseed and will start the soft cup day or two before ovulation day to keep the sperm close.

She swears by this method and it is all natural so cross your fingers for BFP this month and I will keep everyone updated and if anyone else has tried this stuff let me know.

If no BFP in couple months I will be taking clomid again which I really do not want to do

Hello Ladies,

Hope You Don't Mind Me Jumping In. Here's My Story. I'm 22, Have A DD (3y3m), Been TTC For Just Over 3 Years. Got Diagnosed With PCO 2 Months Ago, Also Got Told No Ovulate that Month, So totally Unsure If I'm Even Ovulating As I Get Positive OPK's Around The Time I Would Ovulate As My Body Must Be Trying Really Had To Ovulate. Going For Blood Test CD21 (I'm CD14 Or 15 Today) To See If I did Ovulate, Although Gyn Still Prescribed Me 50mg Clomiphene From CD2-6 For Two Month's Starting Mid May 2013 If No BFP Before. This Month If I Did Ovulate It Was On The 30th April 13, Iv Been Using Soft Cups & Conceive Plus, I Haven't Used These Two Products Until The Other Night. I Don't Know Or Didn't Know How To Go About It But Had Been Reading Online That Some Women Make Love (Baby Making) Then Put The Pre seed,Conceive Plus Or Other Sperm Friendly Lubes Into The Soft Cup Then Insert It, So I Did That But Also Used A Little While Making Love (Baby Making) & Did that On The Day Before Ovulation & The Day Of Ovulation (If I did Ovulate) & Left The Soft Cup In Each Night For Just Under 12 Hours. I'm Not Getting My Hopes High But I Guess I Can See How It Ends Up & If Successful Or Not I Can Share. x X x

BabyPink87 That Sounds Promising Hun, Did It Work, I Hope So x X x

P.s Iv Got My Fingers Crossed For You All Ladies & Sending you All Loads Of Sticky Magical Baby Dust. x X x
