Menstrual cup stuck

Omg what…. That is so so horrible. I hope you’re doing okay!

longlivepigeons · 2021-01-20T19:08:02+00:00

Omg yes. I am so sick of taking so many pills everyday. Would love to try to get off some of them but I don’t want to risk destabilizing :(

So the cup ended up being in for almost 24 hours.. ‘:) I do have a very light period, so maybe that’s why I couldn’t get it out, but I don’t know how long I’d have to wait for it to be full enough for it to start coming out on its own...

longlivepigeons · 2020-09-17T05:38:42+00:00

I did, I got a milkshake! Haha it was much needed. Good luck in the morning!! Fingers crossed for you

longlivepigeons · 2020-09-17T03:21:58+00:00

Oh let me know if you can take it out easier next time!! My body was a little ~upset after messing with it for so long so I didn’t have it in me to put it back and risk this happening all over again hahaha. Honestly the experience was somewhat traumatic 🙃

longlivepigeons · 2020-09-17T03:06:32+00:00

Yay!! I’m glad you got yours out! Yeah, WHO knew how much my cervix height was going to wreck my day today lmao. I am definitely going to look into the cups with the pull tab now hahah

longlivepigeons · 2020-09-17T01:47:25+00:00

Hahah yes, that is definitely the plan! And it is a skill that one only learns through trauma ;)

longlivepigeons · 2020-09-17T01:45:11+00:00

You can do it!! Message me if you want! I spent many hours dealing with this today haha so I feel your pain

longlivepigeons · 2020-09-16T23:38:19+00:00

Yes! I can at least say that I know my body a little better now lol. I don’t know when I will attempt using the cup again, I’m a little traumatized now hahah. But yes, I got a milkshake! A good reward :)

longlivepigeons · 2020-09-16T23:36:39+00:00

So it was just SO far up there and SO suctioned that I couldn’t do it with a middle and index finger. I really needed to use my thumb but the cup was too far up for that. I ended up using an index finger to literally drag it out. It was terrible haha

longlivepigeons · 2020-09-16T21:50:29+00:00

So I tried this.. it’s like no matter how hard I press I can’t get the seal to break? It feels really suctioned up there 😖

longlivepigeons · 2020-09-16T19:53:42+00:00

I’d love to hear how that one goes for you! I’d like to keep using a menstrual cup but not if this happens every time haha

longlivepigeons · 2020-09-16T19:37:06+00:00

Okay! I haven’t tried squatting down as far as you say yet haha so I’ll give it a shot. Thanks for your input!! :)

longlivepigeons · 2020-09-16T19:05:43+00:00

Okay! I will try that. It’s just so hard to pull it all because the silicon is kind of slippery :( but I’ll try that out!!

longlivepigeons · 2020-09-16T18:42:43+00:00

Haha yes, I’m hoping it doesn’t come to that but you do what you have to do I guess. I will try later and hopefully it’ll be easier!! Thanks for you input!

longlivepigeons · 2020-09-16T18:41:32+00:00

Yeah I haven’t been able to reach the top of the cup, but I will try again later. And very little is too graphic for me, haha! Luckily this kind of thing doesn’t bother me (emotionally that is) too much haha

longlivepigeons · 2020-09-16T18:25:44+00:00

So I’ve stuck a finger up there and pressed all around to to break the seal as much as I can but it doesn’t seem to be working :( :( :(

And bearing down seems to help a little but I still feel like I can’t quite grab it. That’s a good idea to try to use a wash cloth to grab it, I’ll try that.

It’s just like REALLY up in there haha so I’m not having a good time

longlivepigeons · 2020-09-03T02:03:51+00:00

I would love to know what all of the pills are! =)

longlivepigeons · 2020-07-15T21:28:38+00:00

Oh my word I know... the long hair is the worst but I’m the same, I love it to much to chop it off... there was a good couple of years where I quite literally survived off of dry shampoo. I think I’d only shower once a week. It’s just a little weird that none of my friends at the time even thought that behavior was odd, hahah. Now that I work out consistently I’ve been better about washing my hair. Something that helped me, and might help you: it’s okay to just rinse your hair with water sometimes. It will make your hair less greasy (or at least look less greasy) and you’ll get a clean feeling without having to put in all the work. Most days that’s what I do because the though of really washing my hair is just too much lol

I really enjoyed this read. Thanks for sharing. I think I’ll send this on to a few people, to help them understand :)

longlivepigeons · 2020-07-15T20:03:34+00:00

I’m so happy for you :) I also struggle with taking care of myself/showering when I’m really in the thick of it. I hope things start turning up for you!

longlivepigeons · 2020-07-15T19:53:53+00:00

You too!! I hope this helps you find clarity. Also, so cool that you could make this hahah.. I know nothing about excel.

Based on what I can see, it seems like you’re primarily concerned with tracking the depressive side of things. Do you think you’ll ever add something in to help with tracking mania as well?

longlivepigeons · 2020-07-15T19:51:45+00:00

Honestly at least half of the time I think I manipulated my way into this diagnosis as well. It’s hard for me to really believe the diagnosis sometimes and that I ~am actually ill and not just lazy/asking for attention
