Tactical seduction and POAS addicts

I know. Bloody hormones! I just feel bit guilty. Like why am I randomly crying. Like and not really sure what about. But real emotional crying 🤷🏻‍♀️ Pregnancy is so bizarre lol.

I have an inkling it’s a girl. But more cos the nub on the dating scan seemed girly and my friends said the skull look girl shaped. But who knows. Super happy either way. But slight inkling it may be another DD.
we will find out at 20 week scan if we can. Which is about 4 weeks away now!

but neither me or DH care. DD says it’s a brother. But will only help me if it’s a baby sister 🤣🤣bribary!! as long as it’s healthy. Then we are all blessed 🥰

@MrsCristianoX haha no don’t shove it back in. I’d be more concerned if the cup was empty tbh. If there’s sperm in it. It’s what you want as then your cervix sits in that pool of sperm so easy access for them.

I used to do an hour or more. Max 2 hour if during day. But tbh if we had sex late at night before bed. I then left it in overnight. As I didn’t wanna take out after 20 mins as didn’t seem long to me. An mine was always okay. Altho guess like @bunnykins123 about it degrading overtime.
i used mine 3 months way too low down. Then once realised I wasn’t pushing it high enough for pregnant on 4th month. Which I obv mc. So then I used it 5th month. Chemical. And 6th month.
so because I got the the 6th cycle. I did buy a new one to compare. An it had started to turn a little off colour. So binned it and used new one that cycle and bingo is this baby in belly!

so I would leave in overnight if easy. Just check it for discolouring and replace after 6 cycles but hopefully before 6 cycles it will work 😄

once I used it right. I was pregnant 3 out of 4 cycles of using it. 🥳

@Indianna2006 I was hoping you would comment..thank you! I felt like shoving it back in when I saw that. How long did you keep it in for?

Hormones are awful! Do you have a gut feeling as to gender yet? Hope you're keeping good apart from that Xx

@MrsCristianoX @TheBirdintheCave yeh deffo normal for it to come out once you remove it out. It will all sit in the cup as such. So if you remove the cup and there is semen in it. It done its job basically. That semen would of just deposited near your cervix but gradually made its way down as you stood up and moved etc. so it keeps it higher for much longer.

some can also leak via the sides. But again same as would with normal sex with nothing to worry about.

swim spermies swim!

i swear I have like popped over the last week and feel huge already 😂😂
also felt in a funny headspace. Can’t explain it. Very irrational and emotional. Like they say before period comes when your pissed of at everyone but it’s EVERYDAY. Must be hormones I think. But I don’t remember this with DD. But think my hormones can make me feel low etc more so since her as I’ve suffered with anxiety and stuff.
Think my poor DH never know who he’s getting Jekyll or Hyde 🙈

@TheBirdintheCave oh god😂 mine says that too if he's been without it for a few days 😆 I'll give it another go tonight/tomorrow 🤞

I don't even know. The suction went well I though but I think some escaped from out of the cup as I was putting it in which then leaked out 😂

Husband did quip that there 'felt like a lot' 🤷🏻‍♀️😂

@MrsCristianoX if it makes you feel any better, I took mine out after an hour or so. I pulled it out whilst sat on the toilet and I had an explosion of 'stuff' come out. Never had that before 😬😳

@bunnykins123 nooo I pulled it out after 20 mins and they were all stuck to it🙈 I don't think I used it right 😂

@TheBirdintheCave @MrsCristianoX how did you spill the swimmers? Are you putting the spermies in it and then inserting? Honestly the suction on it when trying to remove it is insane!

@FfayeN I am apparently a pro at getting it to flip up and stick around the cervix 😂I find that bit quite easy.

I'm afraid to pull the tail too hard to get it out in case I break it and it gets stuck up there! 😅 At the moment I sort of break the seal with my finger and then pull the tail and it comes out.

@MrsCristianoX I wondered that too but it says only up to an hour in the instructions. I think it's because it's a biodegradable product so to prolong its life to the full six cycles only an hour is recommended at a time. Also, maybe all the swimmers who are going to make it will have done so by that point in time.

@TheBirdintheCave I wonder can I keep it in all the night..🤔

@MrsCristianoX Oh no! 😂I find the taking out part the worst 😐I can't find a neat way to do it at all.

@TheBirdintheCave mine went everywhere!! I didn't read the leaflet and thought you have to twist it back by hand so yuck on my hand until I looked at the leaflet and I pulled it out after 20 mins and more on that🤷‍♀️ I should have practiced 😭 but CD8 there's no chance anyway😂

@MrsCristianoX 😂

I managed to spill some swimmers tonight while trying to get the Ferti-lily in. Very cross with myself 🤦🏻‍♀️ I hope it didn't all leak out :/

@bunnykins123 I see what you mean about the void 😳

@FfayeN holding my breath each time, but so far it was only once yesterday! Nothing seen on the scan, so he reckons it might be my cervix, but didn't seem too bothered.

How are you getting on? When do you go away?

@mummatara oh god sake lol. My DH is a faffer too. It’s very irritating. They just don’t always get it so they.

@TheBirdintheCave I had PCO for a while but not the syndrome. But then it disappeared. Usually it’s a slight hormone imbalance but not enough for the actual syndrome. But my corrected myself. It was a stressful period for me.

@FfayeN Funny thing is I don't. My ovaries are polycystic but I don't have the syndrome that goes with it. So PCO but not PCOS. I'm an odd duck apparently!

@FfayeN I shall do :) The call with the results is on the 24th (my sons birthday) but I imagine I'll at least be able to ask about the scan whilst we're there. It'll be interesting to see if my ovaries are still polycystic.
