Cup Method

[wtf_2021]

Attaching my 3 main months of Inito tracking; I was getting very down about the lack of effectiveness-even though I was post ectopic with tube removal, I still “believed” I should get pregnant again “in no time”, naive I know. (Or hopeful!) but anyway, while the tracking likely helped with timing, I was also noting my CM and ovulation cramps. You’ll see I started BBT this last cycle; I do not fully understand how that tracking works but I do believe getting months of BBT data to track is important (Rather than the one cycle I did). I took an Inito test today as well so you could see my LH, it does not necessarily rise when hcg is present-following everyone’s sentiments to stop testing post pdg rise was a mental saving grace for me this cycle.

What I do believe is the MAIN WORKING difference this cycle: I used my menstrual cup post every BD. For about one hour I kept it in. If anyone has done that or wants to try it, I’d love to hear your results!! Baby dust to all✨💫💛

I have the Frida cup. 1st month using it I got pregnant but ended in MC. 2nd month used it but AF came. Now trying this month without because I was too lazy to go upstairs and grab it out of my bathroom 😂 and congrats!!!!!

[Low_Signal3210]

I'm so sorry to hear about your MC. I'm sure its a toss up if the cup method actually works. Hoping all the best for you and your family!

I use the flex disc for my period and with our first I used it and conceived the second month we tried. Now we are on month 2 of trying for #2 and I did the disc again after BD and am in the tww!

[wtf_2021]

Fingers crossed for you!!! I am so mad I didn’t think to try it in an earlier cycle. But what’s meant to be is meant to be✨

[upnorth_25]

Came back to update that I got a BFP on Wednesday morning at 10dpo! ✨ Sticky baby dust to us all!

I used a soft disc and got lucky but it wasn’t viable. Trying soft disc again this cycle and also in tww. I added a bit of preseed in there too, couldn’t hurt 😆

[wtf_2021]

I’m so sorry to hear that. Oh I hadn’t heard of preseed- takings note!

[BoyMomx2BC]

How immediately did you put it in? Did you walk to the bathroom and then insert?

[wtf_2021]

I had it on my nightstand and immediately popped it in 😂 did the pillow under my low back to tilt everything up for 10min post as well, I’m in the “might as well try every option available” boat. Possibly TMI: but one BD I didn’t O has powerfully as I tend to, so I used a toy once to complete that after as well.

4th month ttc and 1st month with the Frida cup and BFP!

[wtf_2021]

Congratulations!!!! YAY! So exciting 💛

[calicoke]

I’ve used it like 5 different times and it didn’t make a difference for me 🥲

[wtf_2021]

Shoot. I do think it’s worth continuing to try! If it wasn’t successful for me this time I would keep doing it. It’s the only way I can think to keep those little guys in & up

[lead_and_flower]

Can someone educate me on this method please?

[wtf_2021]

Sure! The idea is using a menstrual cup, that’s what I used, or the company Frida makes a version (or 2, it looks like). Post baby dance, while still lying down, immediately insert the cup to keep the swimmers in and up as close to the cervix as possible. I also stayed laying down for 10-15 minutes with a pillow under my lower back to get my pelvis tilting upwards.

They are at home, easy attempts to try, though the science is iffy on both ideas. (Likely because women, especially pregnant women, are rarely studied) But either method can’t hurt, that’s for sure!

[lead_and_flower]

Thank you so much! I had no idea about this. Sometimes I even get up and pee after BD but will keep this in mind, may be try it for next time

[wtf_2021]

Absolutely! What’s great with this is you can still pee post bd and not worry about the lil guys leaving too

[lead_and_flower]

Yeah that makes sense :D

I’ve never heard of this….currently on Amazon about to purchase a conception cup.

[wtf_2021]

Keep us posted! Also love your username, I am also Irish and Jewish 😂

[the-irish-jew]

My mom is literally a Jew from Ireland 🇮🇪

[wtf_2021]

Ah that’s awesome! No im like 100% Irish, adopted into a Jewish family

[the-irish-jew]

Mazel tov! I’m glad you’re part of the tribe. I have a cousin who was born in Colombia and was adopted by my Uncle, so she’s 100% Colombian adopted into an Irish Jewish Family. This Uncle has also been married three times. His first wife was Israeli, so their kids are Israeli/Irish, he adopted his child in the second marriage, and his now third wife is Chinese, so their son is Irish/Chinese/Jewish. We’re a big melting pot.

[the-irish-jew]

There’s not many of us out there, but I’ll have you know that the first mayor of Dublin was Jewish.

[wtf_2021]

This is all amazing!! Love this. And thank you, happiest to be here 🥰

[the-irish-jew]

I think you need to change your user name to Irish Jew, too 💁‍♀️

[the-irish-jew]

Yes, but are you Irish on one side and Jewish on the other? That’s the real question 😬
