IUD and cup

C 🖤

I got the copper IUD fitted today and am still bleeding a fair bit. The nurse gave me some pads to use but I really just hate them and was wondering if I can use my cup? She said it would be fine for periods but didn't clarify if it was ok right now. I assume so but dont want to risk accidentally pulling it or unsettling it as the strings will still be rigid I've been told.

Thanks!

I’ve heard the suction of the cup can move the IUD out of place. I still use my cup with my IUD, I’m just a little more cautious when taking it out.

No you can't put anything in your vagina for several days

I wouldnt use a cup the first month. Like the other commentor said you're not supposed to put anything up there and the first 20.days you are more likely to risk getting PID
