Do instead softcups really increase your chances of getting pregnant?

I am thinking about ordering softcups, but want to hear whether they have actually worked for people. I've read that what leaks out isn't actually the sperm, thus negating the purpose of softcups. But I am willing to try if there are positive results from real women out there!

I am the soft cup queen lol!!! Ok, so the soft cups are used for when you have your period, right? SO you just use them after you dtd. It's messy and the longer you keep it up there, the better your results will be. However! You don't want to keep it up there all day bc IMO, they tend to get uncomfortable after long periods of time. The stuff that leaks out is what came out of your partner. It's sperm and other fluids. But! There are millions of sperm so normally, if something leaks out then that is okay if they have a high sperm count, but try to keep your hips elevated after dtd and during the insertion of the soft cup. It helps keep everything up there and the sperm don't have to go against gravity. Beware of the grossness of taking it out!! It is disgusting but they work pretty well. Good luck! Hope this helped.

Well supposedly yes, but it didn't help me. I guess it could make the difference for some women. In theory, it should work. It should at least increase your chances.

5 years TTC. Endometriosis and adenomyosis. Surgery. 2 IVFs. No joy. Low ovarian reserve. Is there any real hope? DE IVF = next step. Much higher success rates, but so used to things not working, it's hard to feel too hopeful. Wishing others an easier time.
