Friday = threatening stage
Saturday:
Here it comes. Lots of cramping, more brown sludge than red flow. Mooncup held up well, even overnight.
Sunday:
Oh boy, teaching an ERC on my heavy day. 2nd time. First time was last year. Paranoia galore beforehand. Wore a pad (not just a liner) as a back-up, just in case. Emptied the Lunette 2-3 times in the porta-potty, just in case. Never more than half full. After 6+ hours on the range -- standing, walking, bending, stretching, squatting, on and off the bike a dozen times, etc -- only two tiny little blips on the pad. Might not have seeped through my panties if I hadn't worn a back-up. Heck, I leak more SITTING AT MY DESK than when so active. Came home and swapped for my Mooncup because I thought the worst of it was probably over.
Joey update on her cup: "Ok, made the holes bigger with the drill bit you recommended. It may work better, I'm not sure yet. I'm SOOOOO paranoid about the ouchy I got last time, I'm thinking I thought it hurt worse than it did. Will try again later. It still seems like it's too wide, like it takes up too much room. I don't feel it when it's in, but getting it out is still a wrestling match."
Sunday night:
Woke up 5am to roll over, coughed and felt a blip. Shit. Got up, went pee. The Mooncup didn't feel right when I reached in to take it out -- like it was crooked or something. Half-asleep, didn't want to mess with it. Swapped for the Lunette, just in case the Mooncup didn't like how I was sleeping.
Monday:
Flowed a lot more than I expected today. I think I filled the Lunette around noontime. I spilled a bunch out during removal and there was still quite a bit left in the cup. Then it was pretty full again around dinner. I think my cervix sits more deeply in the Lunette than the Mooncup so its capacity isn't as high as I'd like it to be. Hardly anything in the Lunette at bed time so Mooncup overnight.
Tuesday:
There it goes. Mooncup.
