How to Use Softcups for BFP? Any Success Stories?

how do you inseminate???

We used instead cup on all 3 cycles we tried.. Inseminate at hm with unwashed frozen sperm then next morning inseminate at clinic. I'm due in 3 wks :)

I'd used instead for my pd for 10 yrs so I was really comfortable and I Still practiced. You can use egg white and some natural coloring like fruit juice to practice inseminating over toilet with no leaks. Totally safe and really helped me. Then we'd go get busy in the bedroom and have a good big O (like others say, no penetration just clit) and keep in for 12hrs. Very fun way of conceiving!

so your trying the progesterone cream

Ladies you've helped me so much. we are doing are second try for ttc#1 in a week and all of your info has helped so much. We ran all over town today tracking down a box. Not easy to find. We also picked up some preseed, vitamins and tea for me. My medicine cabinet looks like the pharmacy lol. Wishing sticky baby dust to us all :D

sit on the toilet its really easy to grab that way

ok its full of the much needed DNA and in!! any special way to take it out when its time??

good luck and your welcome but i forgot to ttell you keep your butt in the air for a hour and if i was you do it late at night and just sleep with it in keep it in for 12 hours but be sure to cum alot and put it in really really fast

wow! thanks so much for the tips! we are going to try again this weekend... try #7! hoping and praying for success!!

me and my partner used it and got pregnant the first time and so did my sister ok this is how we did it #1 have the room dark and as hot as posible #2 put about 4 pillows under your butt #3 put in insteadcup make sure when it is in have your partner put a finger in and make sure its around your cervix #4 make sure you have as many big o as posible do not use penatration i sugest you use a viberater TIPS dont use soap down ther for 3 days it can harm the sperm and make sure your partner uses gloves or make sure she dont use soap or anything else on ther hands that whole day and make sure donor does not use lotion or anything really to masterbate and do not take a bath for a week you can shower but no baths and most important make she after he donates you put the sperm in asap like within 1 to 2 mins i suggest not even waiting that long but good luck i hope this helps

Ya we've been trying for 4 months now with no luck :( we were thinking of trying the soft cups too. So how do u know it's placed up to your cervix??

the sperm doesnt fill the.whole cup.so its easy

how do you not "spill" the sperm when inserting the softcup?

thanks for the advice

to get off.....to orgasm....to have a few of the big "o"s to help my body....to have my cervix contract and pull in the sperm. I've heard of hetero couples using a soft cup...having sperm up against your cervix for 12 hours helps any one TTC

I asked if your partner was male, not if the donor is male. The reason I asked is because you said that you used "fresh sperm FROM your PARTNER." [emphasis added] In this particular forum the donor and your partner are not typically the same person (unless your bi) I became curious. I thought maybe you might have posted in the wrong forum by accident.

Anywho

On average, if there are no medical issues, it takes 3-12 months of TTC to actually conceive. Sometimes you can get lucky and will get you the BFP before, but otherwise you can expect it to take a few more months.

What techniques have you used? Are you tracking your ovulation? If you tell us what you're currently doing, maybe we could give addition tips. (it's hard to give additional advice if I/we have no idea where you are in your process.)

Also, you said you're trying to conceive "#2," how was #1 conceived?

yes my donor is male ???

"fresh sperm FROM your partner"?

Please forgive my question, I kinda feel stupid asking it, but is your partner male?

im am using fresh sperm from my partner i been ttc for #2 for 7 months with no luck so far and i heard the success stories with softcups and i wanted to try them to get my bfp

Milita,

What are you planning on using? (fresh/frozen)

Do you have a partner?

Tell us about where you are in your process and that might help us help you better.

what u mean got off a few times???

we have a known donor...he made his deposit and then my partner put the softcup in me. I then kept it in for 12 hours. I got off before it went in and after it was in....a few times.

how did you use it???

softcups worked for us.....first time! I'm 11 weeks. practice first. you have to get the cup around the cervix.

I swear by the softcup for AF.

I haven't used a tampon or pad (except on the last two days of AF) in two years.

Honestly i wish u all the best of luck because i just tried to use one literally just tried to use one for my aunt flow and absolute disaster.....i jus cnt seem to get it right! Ive tried to cycles now and no luck

What kind of sperm are you using?

If using frozen sperm, it comes with defrosting instructions.

If using fresh, I'm not sure if there is anything "special" you have to do. I assume not, but my SO and I exclusively used frozen sperm, so take this advice with a grain of salt.

how do you prep sperm???

There are techniques to inserting the softcup, I don't know them.

You might want to practice before you do it with the sperm.

A 1mL needle-less syringe. You can get it at cvs.

(1) prep sperm

(2) once sperm is properly prepped, pull the sperm into the needle-less syringe,

(3) while the "intended womb" is laying down, face up with hips elevated, insert the sperm into her vaginal canal via the needle-less syringe (no need to "aim" just try to get it near the cervix)

(4) inserted the softcup into her vaginal canal.

My wife used the softcup for 3/6 inseminations

She got pregnant 0/3 times when we inseminated without the softcup.

She got pregnant 2/3 times when we inseminated with the softcup. (one pregnancy ended in miscarriage at 8 weeks. My wife is currently 11weeks pregnant).

We used the softcup two different ways:

(1) we put the sperm in the softcup then inserted then softcup in her vaginal canal. We tried this way only once and did not get pregnant.

(2) we inserted the sperm into my wife's vaginal canal via a non-needle syringe then inserted the softcup into her vaginal canal. We tried this way twice and got pregnant both times.
