Questions about IUD and menstrual cups

Jacqueline

I got my skyla IUD reinserted about a week ago. I’ve been bleeding and cramping a good amount since the insertion. I can’t wait for it to end. However my gyno said I needed to wait two weeks before using tampons or cups again.

What are your experiences with the IUD skyla and using menstrual cups after insertion? I’m just bleeding so much and I hate hate hate using pads. I can’t enjoy having sex either because of the mess that was usually saved by wearing my flex or nixit discs. What exactly is the danger of using one? Pulling the strings out or what??
