Yay to Mooncups
Another convert here.
Isn't there something perversely satisfying in being able to measure exactly how much you are bleeding how often? Texture and clots and all?
No?
And do you know its great plantfood too? Although you might want to dilute down if sharing home with other people, glisteny red soil isn't everyone's idea of approriate.

And oh god I hear you on the Mirena insertion, I had something similarish-sounding on my last visit to the gynaecologist. Endometrial sampling using a Pipelle. Which basically involves something like a 2 foot cable tie (3mm width, apparently) being inserted through your clunge, up through the cervix, and repeatedly jabbed into your uterine wall each jab suctioning out a tiny sample of endometrium.

Fucking ouch.

Mr Box asked me afterwards what was more painful - the procedure or my biting my hand (I didn't even remember that bit of self-harm till he reminded me)

Going back to see that fucking doctor tomorrow, wish me luck. I'll be trying not to shove my mooncup down his japs eye and into his bladder.
