I had a small Lily for about a year and it happened to have the exact same diameter as my cervix (around the inner rim opening), so it grabbed my cervix like a vise and caused mild cramping. Not sure what would've fixed that other than cutting up and widening that inner rim. I might also be careful once you get the Mirena because, due to the lack of suction holes, the Lily can be VERY suctiony.
My cervix doesn't seem the same size as the rim, it feels quite small, so hopefully that's not the case. I think I might trim the stem to give it a bit of room to breathe.
Also interesting about the suction thing, I might talk to the gyno when I have my appointment (I'm going in for a laparoscopy so the IUD is a "may as well while you're under" thing)
Yeah, I doubt your gyno will have anything useful to say about cups though (surprisingly many don't know about them!) I think at least one user on mc_sales was selling a Lily with holes she had punched in it herself. So if you still like the Lily maybe you could try that one and sell off your pristine one. The seller said apparently she didn't leak despite the holes.
The gyno I went to seemed like a massive hippie so I have a feeling she probably uses one herself but i don't have health insurance so my next visit to actually talk about the surgery will be with a public hospital gyno so who knows :(
I have trimmed the stem though and it's feeling so much better so at least that's out of the way! I don't feel like there's much suction, or I'm just very proficient at taking it out. I think I'm happy with it how it is. I can take the mirena or leave it really.
