OK...So i used the cervical cap again...It's about the size of a bottle cap only a little bigger and pretty deep! I assume it's like the instead cups...The only thing is I am not sure how much of DH's swimmers got up there...When I took it out this morning it didn't had much, maybe a teaspoon and it looked like water basiclly...What are your thoughts girls??? This is the first time I have used these...I had a pos. opk on the 26...Dh & I bd on 25th used the cap, bd on 26th using nothing, and then on the 27th using cap...What do you think are my chances...Also, how do you know you have teh swimmers scooped in the cap/cup..???

BUMP

I have never used these products.

Are there any ladies out there that have used instead cups?

SoReady~ I am not really sure which ones jade is talking about. But I have used the regular instead cups. They are weird but neat. They remind me of those Lance Armstrong LIVESTRONG bracelets with a plastic baggie hanging from one side. I used these around O. You have to pinch them and push them in all the way up. I always did this while laying in bed. It is sort gross though cuz after sex you know how wet it is down there, and you get a huge sample of all of that on your hands. I kept it in from midnight till 7 am before work, but you can use them for up to 12 hours. When I pulled it out there were sperm inside but very few. I will be testing all this week to see if my efforts worked! Today i am CD 24, 9 DPO, and I tested early BFN, but I still have untill the 30th when AF is due so we will see. I would recommend the instead cups as they are easy to used, and it beats the feeling of sperm sliding down your leg afterwards....lol!
Good Luck on your journey!

Sam - I am def. considering the instead cups. I have a tilted uterus so it seems like most of the sperm comes back out the moment he pulls out. I am just wondering if I am gonna be able to get it in before all the sperm excapes. lol

Sam _Good Luck on your HPT!!!

I also have a retroverted uterus! So that must be why his little spermies go the wrong way! I just thought they were a little confused! j/k lol!
Anyway thanks! I tested today BFN, but still have 4-5 more days so we'll see!
Good luck to you in the future!

Sam - I hope you get your BFP this month! I will be starting on clomid at the end of June hopefully. I have irregular cycles so it will be the end of June or begining of July. I am hoping for June.

13 DPO BFN today. Today is CD 28, last cycle I had AF on CD 28, but today it hasn't come yet. Temps dropped to coverrline though so I have no doubt the witch is comming. I think I am goint too cut clomid back from 150 (days 2-6) to just 50 on days 3-7 in June which will be my 3rd round on clomid.
I am getting antzy, I just wish something would happen at this point!
SoReady~ good luck in your ttc. I hope it works out for you the first month!

Thanks Sam. The end of June can not come fast enough for me! I am sorry that AF is gonna show up but maybe the new dosage and days will make a difference. In June I will be taking 100mg cd 3-7. You will probably be at the end of your 2ww when I get to start. (I have such long cycles!) Good Luck with your next round!

Baby Dust to you SAM!
