Question

Softcup anyone???

So this month, cycle 7, I am going to try pressed and the softcup never used either before. Just opened up a softcup to try before hand and OMG they're huge and loud. TMI but I swear I was shoving some crinkle paper in there or something. I think it's in there right, I don't feel it so I'm assuming it's right. I assumed something softer an a little smaller similar to the nuvaring. I would love to hear any experiences with softcup or pressed. Baby dust to all!!!!

pre-seed is great (i do not know truly if it increases conception chances but it is the best lubricant i have ever tried, it cures vaginal dryness better than any lactic acid stuff from the pharmacy - and i could swear it even saved me from thrush!)
the menstrual cup - my obgyn here does not approve of them, some trials showed that the infection risk was greater in the long run than with disposable pads/tampons

Lol! I love softcups...and preseed! SC's are a little intimidating at first, but u get the hang of it pretty quickly. Try adding a little lube to ur tester cup before u insert, if it doesnt leak after a few mins, its in right. Make sure its hooked on ur pubic bone and if u can, pop a finger up around it and make sure its over the cervix and not in front. Sometimes u can miss if the cervix is realllly high.
Preseed is awesome! Which did u get, external or internal with the tubes? If its internal, dont use the amount stated on the pkg. Urs might be diff, but mine says 3g, thats a sloppy mess! DH will be missin' and slipping in other holes if ur not careful lol! Start with like a gram, u can always add more if u need it, or put a little on DH, to save on applicators. Also, u can wash (or sterilize if ur really worried) the applicators. 9 isnt enough if u use less than 3g per use, u will run out and cant buy just the apps.
Good luck! =))

I use softcups and got pregnant once with it and I swear by them. I'm trying for second right now and will be using them. They are big and loud, but after sex just excuse yourself, pinch it, pop it in, scooping up any good stuff that's leaking out and it expands in there pretty well. I leave mine in all night or around 12 hrs, then pull out with one finger and toss. I don't use it every time, but on my ovulation day I do.

I love Softcups! I use them even before and after my fertile period, just so sex isn't "messy!" Takes a few tries to get it right, but once you do you'll love them! Don't forget to take them back out though!
