Instead Cup

Hey all!
How many of you have self-inseminated with an instead cup? Can't believe I didn't take this seriously before. Seems like such a no-brainer! Get the baby juice all in the cup then insert the cup and knock yourself out!
Next week will be my first time ever trying to conceive and I can hardly contain myself! Plan on using preseed and an instead cup. Upping the CM with robitussin, evening primrose oil and green tea:-)
This SMBC is going to be the best thing a baby asked for:-) Ok, well it may not ask but I'm going to be the best mom I can be with all my friends and family around! I'm really looking forward to it and hope I'm blessed the first time around, but that's not always possible and I am 33.
Anyway, if you have stories, please share:-)
Thanks Peeps!

I'm definitely not the best person to answer anything about Instead cup as I have no idea what that is....I will definitely be googling that after this.
This past Saturday was my first time inseminating/trying to conceive so that aspect I can relate to. I could hardly contain myself too. I nearly had a panic attack on the Dr's table. I don't think I heard a word she said to me once the process was done. Good thing my DP was there to be ears for both of us. The second they were released I instantly had a million and one things run through my head. I thought it'd end after a day but I'm still all over the place with my thoughts. But I suppose that's normal for me.
I too beleive that I'm going to be the best mom ever!
I'm 35 and hoping that I'm blessed this first time around too. I'm way too optomistic for my own good though....lol!
Good luck next week!

I'm feeling ok. I have been super nauseous since the day after the insem but I think that is just me psyching myself out or being on high alert to any signs my body is giving me. Yesterday was a hard time. I got that overwhelming feeling of just needing to know. This tww period is kicking my ass. I thought I had it all figured out...just go about my day and forget about what I'm doing...Ummm nope that didn't work. I swear it's crazy I have counted at least 48 pregnant people I've seen since we insemed. It's kinda like when you buy a new car you never noticed it before and all of a sudden everyone has the same car...lol
Thanks for asking. I'm trying to put myself out there on this website since I'm on the same journey as all of you. It's harder than I thought. Most people on here already have a solid foundation of knowing one another. So I feel like the new kid at school trying to fit in...lol!
How are you doing? What day are you planning on inseming? Did you have any trouble with the instead cup?

I am also not looking forward to the TWW but the first week I will be busy. Going to Colorado next weekend to see one of my best friends (well hubby too) cause she just had a baby 3wks ago. I wanted to give it time for all the family to cycle through so when I get there I get to snuggle ALL WEEKEND!! I'm pretty much a baby hog! I was tenures that spoiled the heck out of babies in their first days! When I get back, I work two more nights so hopefully I can sleep and work without going nuts. Doubtful! Haha! Pretty much wanted to be a mom my whole life!!! Kept thinking ok I should be finding a man but that wasn't happening and I scared a few off with wanting a baby like yesterday! I wanted to be a SAHM! Well being a RN can only pacify you for so long. I got to 30 warn I said I would have a baby and I had bought a house then had some job changes...ugh! So I feel very ready in every way. Plan to have that kid attached to me the first 6wk! They look so snuggly!
I hope you can find something to distract yourselves, but saying that, I can't imagine that is easy! I just know I plan to imagine where things are happening and make it positive.....the race and the one who doesn't ask for directions loses, we know what sex that is, Just keep swimming, just keep swimming, just keep swimming swimming swimming! Then the meeting of the minds, sharing of info then another trip home and then hunkering down! Then come the symptoms! lol Work 3-4 12hr shifts a week. Goin.g to try to keep a normal schedule so I can temp. It's hard when you like to see daylight on your days off. I plan to take advantage of the exhaustion! I love to sleep! Makes some things fly by faster!
Ok I think I've done enough rambling! Hope you all have a good day and think happy TWW thoughts!
