Hi Lafdes. I think i'm ovulating today or yesterday and i used them too both last night and the night before so keeping my fingers crossed for all of us!

I am completely fascinated.

They sound ideal for keeping the

inside

That's one of the things I hate about TTC, sometimes I just want a quicky before I go do something else, but before I would just go to the bathroom and then get on with whatever I wanted to (my friend calls that dropping the kids of at the pool! eww.)

Now I'm either laying there for ages, or trying to hold it in with my kegels!

And I don't know how many nice panties I've ruined with leakage during my period too... TMI I know.

I've spent a bloody fortune since I came onto this board! OPKs, different preg tests, fertility monitor, pre-seed, TCOYF, thermometers, and now it looks like I'm gonna get a mooncup too! Better hide my bank statement next month! Though really this should come out of our "baby fund"

ETA: someone has the mooncup BNIB on ebay for £12.99 buy it now (£15.01 with p&p)

I think the mooncup's are the reusable ones ... not sure how to disinfect/sterilise them though. Softcups are disposable so no real worries of infection.

Hope they work for you.

They get steralized the same way you would baby's bottles so either steralising fluid/tablets or in boiling water.

I sometimes have issues with latex and these are made of surgical grade silicon so should be fine for me... We'll soon see

So my mooncup arrived today

gonna keep those little

in place!

It is not little, but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it in no time! I imagine I'll get sticky figers the first few times (far TMI I know!

)

There isn't a hope in hell of me convincing my DH to put his

straight into the cup so it'll be tricky insertion arfterwards... Keep thinking about that thread about keeping the soup in the bowl

Let us know how using the cup goes.

I asked my DH if I ordered it - would he consider using it - inculding him making his deposit into the cup, then I put it in. To my shock he thought it was a great idea to take off the pressure sometimes (after 3 years of ttc it is a tough job).

I am glad that he is on board with it, but I teased with my friend that if it were to work, then it is quite possible my DH and I don't even need to be in the same room to conceive our DO.

Best wishes everyone!
