I think you're on the money with trying the Si-Bell...and it will have better capacity for you due to the blunter shape. My cervix is way off to the left, also high, and the Si-Bell's is one of the few stem styles that works for me (the Rainbow is another one but it doesn't have quite as much capacity as I'd like).

Have you and your relatives looked into endometriosis too? A friend of mine had those incapacitating cramps and it turned out she had not only endometriosis but a septum in her uterus (which is why she miscarried several times). Or it might be possible to have both that and fibroids. Hope it gets resolved soon!

I hope the Si-bell is more flexible than the Lunette! I really like that it doesn't have any sharp ridges like the Lunette does, I had to flip mine inside-out permanently because removal was getting unbearably painful. I think the Lunette is leaking because I spend a lot of time sitting or laying down, I really hope the issue doesn't carry over to the Si-bell.

If it is endometriosis, I'd be the first in my family to have it. Everyone in my family has had fibroids, but none have endometriosis. My mother had a surgical procedure to check for endometriosis, but nothing out of the ordinary was found. None of my family members have had problems with fertility either. The reason I suspect fibroids is because of the family history and the clots. If it was endometriosis, that would be the end of a very long nightmare...but I doubt it. :(

Yup, the Si-Bell is one of the softest on the market--though I've never had a problem getting it to pop open. My own vag is rather "twisty"/bent/not normally shaped so this softness is essential or it will get "stuck" up there. (I've had a couple dry runs with the Lena, which is mostly shaped just like the Si-Bell but firmer, and it's been VERY difficult to remove, even more so than you'd expect of a dry run.) And I hope they can get to the bottom of your fibroid situation soon. Best of luck!
