reusable menstrual cups (diva cup) - Page 4 - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Hi.
I have a new question re the Diva Cup. I've only used it the one cycle, but my spotting went on and on for another two-three weeks on and off. And the spotting was really bright, not the usual dark stuff. Has anyone else had this happen, either at the start of using it or any other time? My friend recommended it, has been using it for a year and loves it, as do I, and she did not have this happen, so this spotting really weirds me out. It's not enought for the cup and enough to need a minipad.
Help?

Your cycle is just changing up, Veronica. I doubt it is related to using the Diva cup.

What does that mean, changing up? I am in perimenopause and this spotting is another sideffect? Don't I have enough going on with periods going from every two weeks to sometime into the eighth week? Now I may have spotting for two more weeks, above and beyond the regular 7-9 days? Oh will this ever end???

That sounds terrible. I really don't know what to make of it. Sorry I don't know enough to help out.

Thanks genuinegirly. I contacted DivaCup and they had no good advice, except to say this is not what normally happens, blah blah blah.
So far there has been no further activity, so maybe it was the beginning of the end, which would be GOOOOOD.

I love my DivaCup. ^_^ Best. Purchase. Ever.

I'll never hafta buy another tampon, pad, panty liner, or any other menstrual product again. ^_^

Yay!
