We too got pregnant and had a cm and then 9 months later is when we actually conceived, resulting in our 13 month old son!!! We used soft cups after our cm too. Those things were really hard for me to get out myself so I would have to have my fiancé get it out for me lol. But when we pulled it out and it had a ton of sperm in it, we would use a dropper and get a little squirt or sperm and put it under a microscope. Omg it was amazing seeing a those little swimmers swimming around. Some were dead and some were swimming like CRAZY!! Super cool!! It didn't matter if I looked at it after an hour, 2 hours or a few times I looked after like 9 hours and there were still crazy swimmers. So with all that being known I really believe they help!! Honestly the cycle I did conceive I did NOT use a soft cup bc I was just tired if all the hoopla of ttc. But I would recommend them for sure. Good luck!!! So sorry for your loss. Make sure you and your partner are both taking vitamins.

Thanks for responding to my question and congrats on your son!
Your story gives me hope :). We have a daughter that is almost 4. I never imagined I'd have to wait so long to conceive a third time. With my daughter and my angel baby, we conceived on the first try.

Now I am curious to see my husbands sperm! HAHA. We are pretty good with getting the Softcup in and out. I actually think using them and the preseed is making me less stressed out about TTC. Just knowing that I am doing something extra besides vitamins and my diet, makes me feel like I have a better chance at a BFP.
