APRIL 2009 - Cycle #16  
My one year anniversary of cups will fall between this cycle and the next.

16-1/2 cycles per year.  Wow, that's down to 22 days.  Things are definitely winding down.  And they're not nearly as heavy as they used to be.  I wish I had numbers to "prove" that instead of just "gut feeling."


THURSDAY - due Sunday - Mooncup
4pm - Spotting brown, cramping and going to the supermarket so I popped the Mooncup in.
11pm - just a little brown in the bottom.
Daily total = 2-3ml

FRIDAY - still surprisingly light - Lunette
9am - Yay, red.  2ml? Swapped for the Lunette.  Let's see how long it takes to fill it.
8:15pm - Couldn't stand the suspense any longer.  Could have gone all day to bedtime with it.  It's official, I can't even find the lines on that cup WITH my glasses on.  Rinsed it out and hunted for them, finally found them.  They're tiny.  Seemed to have been halfway between the lines.  What's that?  10ml?  They're not marked.  So why bother putting lines?
11:30pm - just a little.  2-3ml?
Daily total = 14-15ml

SATURDAY - heavy day - Lunette
4am - Woke up to roll over and DRIP!  What???  Oh no.  Big sloppy leak.  Why???  Full?  Nope.  Not quite to first line.  6ml?  That was uncalled for.
8am - Not quite to second line.  13ml?  My guess is that I'll start off heavy and get lighter as the day goes on.
10:15am - What, AGAIN???  Another big nasty drip of a leak.  What's going on today???  It was open, it was in right.  Appx to first line.  8ml?  And I definitely put it back in right.
1:45pm - An active day with a LOT of housework.  Hardly sat down at all.  AGAIN!  Another big drip of a leak.  To second line.  15ml.  Is that my overflow point?  It has been 3-1/2 hours so time-wise, that's about right.
4:30pm - Dammit, AGAIN?  I don't know, maybe not.  Did I change my liner last time?  I don't remember.  I think I did.  This time it looks more wet than red.  Just stray tinted discharge?  Definitely new liner this time.  And there was hardly anything in the cup.  Just 2ml?
11:15pm - Nothing on liner.  Down to a trickle.  About 3ml.  Should probably have swapped to the Mooncup but I kept the Lunette out of laziness.
Daily total = appx 47ml.  Is that a lot?  I don't know.

SUNDAY
7am - only a ml or two.  Kept the Lunette out of laziness again.
4:30pm - About 5ml after having been on my feet all day again.  Swapped to the Mooncup.
Daily total = barely 7ml

MONDAY
8am - just a couple of drops since 4:30 yesterday.  Too lazy to dig out a liner.  I'll check and probably remove later.
11:30am - Nothing in the cup.  Put on a liner, just in case.  Could probably do without it.
