You should try using Softcups if you do get AF on your honeymoon and want to have sexy times. You can acutally have sex with it in place. I've done it before and my husband has had NO idea that it was in place :D I've seen them in drugstores too
Just to add onto this, while you don't need to lay down for an hour (and shouldn't without peeing), if it would make you feel better you can insert a softcup to keep semen close to your cervix while you go about your day.
I've used one for years and I would wholeheartedly recommend it for most people, with a few caveats. First, if you're not comfortable with blood, keep walking. You have to empty it regularly and you can expect at least a half an ounce. Second, if you look at the insertion instructions, you have to comfortable with your vagina. Third, different companies make slightly different cups and you may need to try a few brands to get the right one. On the plus side, I'm still using one I bought in November 2011 for $26.15, so it costs about 0.50 per period. At that price, I think it would be worth even trying a couple of brands. Instead makes disposable cups for $8 on Amazon if someone wasn't sure.
Also, people are talking about boiling them. Boiling is only needed for discoloration or if there's an odor. I just wash mine in a fragrance free soap and it's fine. There is a bit of discoloration, but who cares? As for leaking, it only leaks if it's full or if you didn't get a seal. I think it's happened to me once. Just make sure there's a good seal when to insert it and check frequently until you get an idea of how often you need to empty it.
So basically, the cups have a bit of a learning curve and aren't for the squeamish, but if you're willing to do a bit of research and get used to them, I would completely recommend them. It would definitely work well with a heavier flow.
My SO is getting a chunk cut out of her cervix close to before Valentine's day (yay, no cancer!) so things for her will be bloody and painful, we've still got saccharine plans of coupledom and I plan on enjoying the fuck out of them. We have nauseatingly sweet times together normally, but Valentine's day it seems more acceptable, plus places have deals on decadent desserts.
Happy early Valentine's day, and have you considered trying out something like the instead softcups that say you can have penetrative sex with them in for less mess?
Use a Soft Cup (a disposable menstrual cup). It blocks both the blood and the odor, and having sex with one in ensures that there is absolutely nothing to be disgusted about. Truly, he wouldn't even be able to tell you were having your period.
Try these. They are a cup that catches your period that you can wear up to 12 hours, and they keep you really clean. You can use them while you have sex. http://www.amazon.com/Instead-Hour-Feminine-Protection-Cup/dp/B0000533CC/ref=sr_1_1?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1396840941&sr=1-1&keywords=instead+softcup
i knowwwwwwww. i need some serious funny friends and I feel like the majority of people I meet IRL are so serious. And thats something I could never joke about. I cant even mention Im TTC. Well thats more of a personal thing because people insist on thinking TTC means have sex once = pregnant. Plus, I had an ectopic last time and my husband told people so yeah don't want to deal with that again.
ugh now I know what you mean about the math problems. Ps- loved PEMDAS problems in school, dont ask why because I have no idea. But yeah its a friggen #s game over here. I shit you not this is what I feel like. i'm like let me check my temp, fertility score, okay its CD... Then I have to become full blown scientist and analyze my OPKs.
I havent used preseed this time around and I havent been putting my legs up either which makes me think I absolutely am forgetting something. When I got pregnant with my daughter (successful pregnancy) I used soft cups. Theyre similar to menstrual cups except theyre disposable,. People TTC use them to keep semen in and up close to the cervix for hours. Gonna be honest though I'm 99% sure I didnt use them when I got pregnant with my daughter. I was TTC 11 months (I think) last time and we had used them during that time. Im tempted to just put in my lunette though, not gonna lie. Im the same way though Im like 'its not even close to O...' -__- but then Ill start thinking about maybe O'ing earlier or sperm life and I'm like this. Btw, I was also watching a video on youtube about how to use the clearblue digital ovulation thing which I apparently did not understand before hand. Anyway, in the video its explaining that if you get no smiley it means you have a low fertility score for that day and its like JUST A REMINDER: HAVING SEX ON THESE DAYS IS JUST FOR FUN AND PROBABLY WONT GET YOU PREGNANT. Im like thanksssss dick!
I dont know if youre a fan of game of thrones but if you are then Ill just say that Im fully prepared to almost drown for my chance at the throne.
If she's disappointed about sex, tell her to buy soft cups they're disposable and you can have sex when she's wearing it. Literally no mess and you can't feel it. Also, they're good for 12 hours so if she's worried about changing feminine products while in a dress, this should last her most of the wedding day. These things seriously rock.
