This may sound silly but how do you use them for ttc?

Redfraggle · May 6th, 2009, 14:21 PM

Me! Well I have used them for the first time this month.

You put one in after

and it stops any swimmers leaking out. And because it traps them at the neck of your cervix it us supposed to increase the chances of a

reaching the egg.

In our case my DH put his

straight into the cup by hand and then I inserted the cup.

sounds good to me.. am going to give them a try this cycle

willing to stand on my head and do cartwheels if it will make me pregnant at this stage

Good luck! I was really surprised at how easy they were to use. They looked huge, but they fitted where they were supposed to with no problems and I left them in for the full 12 hours and couldn't feel a thing. Easy to remove as well.

I've give these a chance before you resort to standing on your head and doing cartwheels!

I thought that they were just used for AF?
May sound silly but once you take it out, is there any sperm in it?
I would of thought that any sperm to come out (after laying down for as long as poss) would just be dead sperm, is this wrong?

They were designed for AF but a lot of people use them for TTC.

There didn't seem to be anything left in it when I took mine out. No idea about dead sperm leaking out though I'm afraid. We're using them because my DH can't ejeculate during intercourse so my TCC knowledge is very limited at times!!
