Do you use a menstrual cup with your IUD?

Question

Just wondering how many people are successfully doing this! 
I was only using a cup before getting IUD but haven't used one since as I am worried about expulsion. I was planning to wait several months, if I did try, for the IUD to be more "settled"

Answer

You can do it! When you take the cup out just make sure the suction seal is broken before pulling it out.

Answer

I asked my on/gyn and he said it’s no problem it’s extremely hard to get it to rip out of ya

Answer

There is very little chance your iud will come out, and if it did I think you would see it either in the toilet, in your underwear, or somewhere.  Best to check once a month!  I've had the copper paragard IUD for 5 years now, and switched to the cup because the IUD makes my periods too heavy for tampons, and pads are just smelly and gross.  It works very well, on good days it's like I don't even have a period. :)

Answer

I accidentally ripped out my IUD with my diva cup and got another one placed in and I’ve had it for a year without accidentally ripping it out

Answer

Thanks ladies! 
I do check my iud iud strings, but I have quite a high cervix and I assume they are tucked up away cos I struggle to feel them and definitely haven't felt the end of them. I think I've actually only ever been able to feel them twice. I think I am just worried they might get caught and I'd accidentally pull it out or something haha and my cup does tend to move itself up higher
