Mooncup & TTC Naturally

A friend has been TTC for 8months with no success, so she upped her game by using a CBFM and Mooncup - hey presto she's pregnant!

Already using a CBFM which I haven't had any problems with and will keep using it, as it's useful to know my high days aswell as peaks with Dan working nights.

Received the mooncup in the post a few days ago, sterilised it and gave it a go.

Seemed a fiddle to get in, as I was all fingers and thumb, but after a few tries I was able to get it in and out no problem.

Got my first high on the CBFM this morning, so after DTD I propped my bum up with a pillow and inserted it.. Certainly nowhere near as messy as I expected it to be. I was able to go to the loo straight after and not worry about everything pouring back out!

We DTD during the day, as Dans working nights, so I'll be keeping it in all today and will take it out in the morning.

As you know Dan thinks this is all pointless, but for less than £20 I thought its worth a try!

I'm also back on the grapefruit juice to increase CM... Which worked instantly. I quite like the taste of grapefruit, so seemed to down the litre box last night! By the morning my CM was in abundance. So that's definitely a keeper!!

Just hope with the increased CM, blocking the semen in with the mooncup... maybe, just possibly the egg and just 1 sperm can find each other through my damaged tubes!!

Theres hoping!!

Natural Long Awaited BFP vs Resented BFP

Firstly - No this isn't my BFP, but I'm just as happy!

A family friend has been ttc for 7years. Unable to have a cycle of IVF on the NHS due to her partner already having a daughter from a previous relationship. They didn't have the funds for IVF, so went ahead with ttc naturally.

Today they shared with me their news - 11wks pregnant!

I'm so excited for them both.. I've had goosebumps and gone all teary.


But... I must admit I don't get goosebumps with everyone's BFP! Those that ttc and get pregnant within the first month or two.. even the first 6mths, I'm afraid I still feel bitter towards. I know I shouldn't, I'm not a nasty, angry, sad woman usually, but infertility has got me bad with feelings of those who declare 'easy' 'quick' 'mistakes' 'miss of the pill' 'just seeing how it goes' BFPs.I hate feeling like that, but it's true.. I do!

They have NO idea, just NO idea at all...

Anywho, I'm happy today :-) Congratulations Plumb's, I can't wait to have cuddles in Sept xx
