Mooncup ttc

[Skybooks]

I looking for experiences/opinions on using menstrual cup after DTD to keep the swimmers in?

I've fallen pregnant 3 times in the last 5 years and 2 have ended in miscarriage it has taken at least a 12 cycles to fall again in between miscarriages so am probably clutching at straws.

If nothing else might make me more comfortable sleeping after sex

Would the suction not pull them out afterwards?

@GoodGirlsRUs I've read lots of things for and against and never read or thought of that.

Hmmm

Trying to imagine inserting one without causing spillage! Depends how skilled you are OP!

Not romantic and I hate using the phrase in ttc situations but have you tried legs up against a wall for 20mins after dtd?

I don't know if it helps to actually conceive, I've tried it specifically on a few cycles of my 10 so far with no luck, but I find it more comfortable afterwards anyway so it's a big plus on the comfort levels!

@chillichutneysarnie comfort is a big plus. Thanks for making me not feel mad, I've read lots of articles about it I just wanted real life experiences.

@musicalfrog I cant see how I'd spill more than using nothing and it leaking out.

Yes used them when I conceived my daughter last year xx

@Faye32 how long did you leave it in after?

Sorry to be crude. Rather than faff around can you not just lie down with your legs up OP.

@Notmoreuodates5 I absolutely could be as I'm not currently pregnant that doesn't seem to be working.

Sperm can live for longer without direct contact with air. The theory is the cup acts in the same was a cervical cup works for insemination. The cup can keep the environment suitable for sperm to live longer.

I used it, would DTD at bedtime then put the cup in overnight

Skybooks - I kept them in around 8 hours each time , used them 2 days in a row . Xx

@Tibtab @Faye32 thank you

Hi, I'm curious if any of you ladies had success which this since last month or have read into any more pro/cons? I used mooncup this cycle and currently in the tww 🙂.

I've got pregnant twice using them! @glow92

@els10 amazing!
I'm wondering whether to swap to the ferti-lily as it looks to 'push up' the sperm more... but if I hear enough success stories I'll stick 😂.

I had a go with the ferti-lily yesterday but it didn’t quite go to plan!

We’re going to give it another go tomorrow.

@ICSI oh no!
Managed to get on quite well with the mooncup, would have been a different story if I hadn't read the instructions first about pinching the end before removing. I just hope it acts the same way 🤞🏼.

A friend used her diva cup when TTC and got pregnant the second month. I'm gonna be TTC in a couple of months and will certainly be using mine. Can't do any harm can it?

So I used the mooncup last cycle and didn't work. I am using it again this time around and wondering if this may actually be counter productive? When I pull it out the next morning I can see some white fluid in it. Just wondering if this sperm that I am actually pulling out from cervix which would have otherwise been there waiting to fertilise my egg? Any help, would be much appreciated? X
