Menstrual Cups with IUD?

Question

Does anyone here use menstrual cups?? Ive been really looking into trying this but I keep reading so many horror stories of iuds being expelled during removal of the cup. I recently started using tampons. I'm 26. But I don't feel comfortable with them because I'm worried about TSS. So I'm constantly changing them sooner than necessary which is a waste of money but I don't want to go back to pads. Any advice would be helpful... Has menstrual cups worked for you? If not...please tell me what happened...

Answer

I have an iud and I use a softcup. I just started using them a few months postpartum cause I was tired of tampons and seeing as pregnancy and childbirth made me so much more familiar with my junk, it's pretty easy to figure out. Plus, with softcup, you can have sex with it in! Just always remember to check for your strings and you should be fine.

Answer

it's recommend to not use the cup with an iud. 
the suction that can happen, especially if your not used to removing the cup can remove the iud. 
there are other sustainable methods that will not give you the same amount of suction. maybe look into other options if you don't want to risk removing your iud.

Answer

I'm so out of touch I've never heard of menstral cups, they sound great!
