‘Fertilily conception cup’ has anyone used this?

@LavenderSweetPea Oh gosh how did I miss that! I’ve just looked back again and found that poor lady! Thanks for the heads up! Eeeek might be a bit more cautious!

@RoseannesMamma they tell you not to leave it in any longer as it starts to fuse in with your cervix. Read back to what happened to one of the other posters on this thread when they left it in for a couple of hours instead of 30 minutes. Leave it in longer at your own peril 😂

Hello,
I’m sorry I can’t really help as I’ve only just bought one of these myself to try this cycle. I’ve seen a few other older threads on here with some success stories and also some it didn’t work for. I’ve read it’s a bit of a pain to insert etc. I think I’m going to leave mine in overnight. I know it says not to!

Hi ladies. I'd like to ask how has it been using the cup. I've just got one and tried 2 times, but I'm not sure if it'll really be good... it seems to make the work against the idea when removing it. I don't know if the pressure will be good to unblock anything or pull down what should go up. Forgive my ignorance, but how do we understand if not asking, and unfortunately I don't really have who to ask this to :,(

Hello everyone!

I am just wondering if anyone has had any issues with the length of the Ferti Lily stem, and if I can cut it?

Oh wow. Thanks. I never knew that. Gosh I always thought it was rhe sperm. Ah well 2ww now. Xx

@Nikster8012 that won't have been the sperm, it will just have been the semen 😊

Thanks. Although I have no idea whether it was in rhe right way hahah ah well... thanks for responding xx

@Nikster8012 that's pretty normal. As long as you had it in roughly the recommended amount of time and it was inverted the correct way, it'll have been helping

Not sure thsi thread is going or whether anyone can be awesome to reply.... but I used the cup for the first time today. Took it out awkwardly as it went in. A massive dollop of the good stuff plonked into the toilet. I am concerned that I just dragged all the sperm out in the cups removal ??? There was a Heck of a lot of spermies that came out with the cup... can it do more harm then good maybe ? It kinda justvfelt like all the sperm was sitting in the cup chilling.

I don't think you can put it in too far - you want to have it right up against your cervix as much as possible

Hi, I have used the fertilily cup twice now, I was just wondering if I am using it right, can you put it in too far? Is that even possible?

Thanks both for your responses, will watch the documentary and persevere with the cup!

@BatildaB I used mine throughout the fertile window, not just on the most likely days.

@BatildaB just gonna chime in, on your comment lol. If you aren't sure what sperm get up to there is a fantastic albeit slightly old documentary called The Great Sperm Race, which goes through a lot of what happens.

Also I used the fertilily last cycle, no bfp but was 3 days late which has never happened before, in over 2 years trying, so wondering if I had a chemical. Would be the furthest I ever got if it was. I have used again this cycle as I like being able to get up and move around straight after! Whether it helps or not 😂

Hope you don't mind me reviving this conversation to ask if anyone has any thoughts or knowledge about which cycle days it's worth using the cup? If sperm can live for 5-6 days, does that mean it is worth using it from the beginning of the fertile period? I've just realised I'm not really sure what the sperm get up to for that time... if the cup helps some get over the cervix threshold then does that mean there are more of them that might then hang around for few days? Is it worth using every day/every other day leading up to ovulation, or just for the really likely days?

@fairgame84 glad/sorry to hear I'm not the only person to have made that mistake! And from reading your other experience I'm glad I did splash out on the fertilily as my original plan was also to try the mooncup all night plan.

@LavenderSweetPea yes I hope the cautionary tales save other people from doing the same... I'm sure I'd googled if it was ok and not found anything, so it does seem worth people knowing!

@BatildaB I winced just reading this. I had no idea that's why they tell you only to keep it in for an hour. Hopefully future readers on this thread will make a note!

@BatildaB ooh yeah I did the same. Never leave it in a bit longer.

@MoonstoneGoddess I used a mooncup once before I got the ferti-lily because I figured it would be the same thing and would save me buying one. I left it in all night like I would normally do for AF and ended up with bacterial vaginosis. It was awful because it delayed my hsg because you can't have it while you've got an infection.

I tried it last month for the first time and plan on trying again this month, didn't hit the ideal day last month.. My experience was that it was tricky to get in when practising, but then I found it fairly straightforward after sex (if somewhat undignified...). HOWEVER I thought that if leaving it for a 'maximum of one hour' was ok then probably leaving it for an hour and a half would be fine and slightly boost my chances, so I stayed up late playing on my phone, and that was an error. If you've ever accidentally slept or showered in soft contact lenses and then had to peel them off your eyeball - it was like that but my cervix rather than my eye. I did eventually manage, but it took me about half an hour and was quite painful and upsetting! So, I've learned my lesson and will probably go for half an hour on the next try.

My personal experience hasn't been great . I can't comment which exactly it was but I used the fertility cup once last month on ovulation day along with preseed applicator and I ended up with an infection and had to have antibiotics

😂the jizz catcher, lol! Glad it worked for you too. Fingers crossed for your second as well!
