So I'm nearly 15 weeks post partum and had some spotting so thought I'd practice using my cup again. Pre baby I was using the large Fleur and it was great, but now my cervix seems a lot lower! I had already trimmed the stem almost totally off and using the cup when fully in it's almost sticking out when I sit down ( Read more... )

Hello! I've been lurking this community for a long time, since I decided to get my cup, about four years ago. This is my first time posting, I tried searching for someone with similar problems, but couldn't find it.

I had been using pads, until I tried a tampon, and decided that I loved how less messy it was, but absolutely hated they way it felt ( Read more... )

This is my second cycle using the mooncup. My first cycle I used it on my lighter days to get used to it and this cycle used it right from the start since I figured I'd got the technique right and knew what I was doing. Wrong! My first light day was great, and I used it overnight with success. However, I used it yesterday on a heavy day and had a ( Read more... )

Hello All,

There are a few posts about MCs and IUDs but I was wondering if anyone has experience when you combine those two with a low cervix?

I'm hoping to get a copper IUD (paragard / copper T) next month, and i'm a bit worried about how an IUD will go with having a low cervix.

Not only can I feel the tip of my cervix, but I can swirl my finger ( Read more... )

I hope you guys can help me out, I'm kind of nervous and a little scared ( Read more... )

I had a great 10 months or so with my cup, but started having problems just after I got my IUD in last winter. I ended up with awful cases of recurring BV and UTIs that I didn't fully kick until June. I kept thinking I was ok, I'd start using the cup again, and then my soreness and itchiness would come back and I'd stop using it because it hurt too ( Read more... )

Hello everyone! It's been a really long time since I posted on this live journal. Hi! I don't know if any of the same people are still here.

I made a blog post recently to talk about my experience with the mirena IUD as well as how using a cup was with it. After several months on the mirena however, I no longer have a period! It's kinda strange, but ( Read more... )

I have been using a large Sckoon for my last several cycles. I have gotten good at inserting it, popping it open and making sure it's places correctly. My issues are ( Read more... )

It's been about a year and a half since I started using my menstrual cup (diva cup) and about as long since I've posted here, but I'm definitely a lurker. Lots of good info! The menstrual cup has changed my life and made it so my periods are SO not a big deal and I can go about life as usual ( Read more... )

So, I've been using my Mooncup for about 3 months now. I'm very pleased with it, it has made my menstrual cycle earlier (so now I only bleed heavy on weekends, which is like a dream, YAY!), faster (1,5 day heavy bleeding, than just spotting) and a lot more comfortable! I still have some cramps and severe PMS, but a menstrual cup can't fix ( Read more... )
