TW - menstruation, blood TMI

I have a smaller than average cervix so sometimes my Period cup can get stuck. The first time it happened it was with the salt cup. So I just stuck it back in my period products (mistake #1 should have thrown it away) and used a different cup. Then I got pregnant didn’t have a period for awhile and this brings me to last night.

I got my period ran out of products and was like ok period cup time. (Mistake # 2) I have 3c cups and didn’t remember which one got stuck.

Of course I chose the pretty blue one, the salt cup and today at 7 am 12 hrs after placement(the max time limit by the way) I couldn’t get IT out.

I can feel it, I can grab the tab, I can wiggle it around but it just won’t budge.

After 10 min of growing panic I tried to extract it in the shower. Different positions. NOTHING After 10 Min struggling along in the shower I had to bring in help.

Enter my husband. His the MVP.

I explained what the cup was how IT works and that he will get a flood of blood when it comes out.

He was like no problem, I can do this let me get gloves. (Love that man)

My husband at 7:35 am tried to extract it. He tried for 20 min, with gloves without gloves in different positions, laying down standing up in the showers laying in the bed. NOTHING. Like I could see his muscles flexing and he just couldn’t get it out.

Then My daughter woke up she’s 5. And we had to take a break to get the kids dressed feed and then walked to school. Husband had to go to work. I had to walk the dog get my coffee do my chores.

And now it’s 10 am and it’s still stuck and I’m watching YouTube videos on how to get the damn thing out.

So I finally get the cup out. You think this is the end of my Fuck Up. Nope.

The shower Looks like a murder scene I rinse the cup and throw it in the trash (Mistake number 4)

Then I shower myself and disinfect the shower.

And while I’m cleaning the shower I hear the rustling of a dog in the trash.

Every dog owners heart drops at the sound. Its distinct we know it every where.

And I know… I know what my 9 month old puppy is doing.

I look.

Yep that’s my Belgium Groenandale chewing on my used menstruation cup. Thank god we trained him and I only had to remove it from his mouth (not chase him around) and brush his teeth bc he had Menstruation Blood breath. (Gross like 🤮 level gross)

Y’all it’s not even 10:30am and I’m done with today already.

TL;DR - period cup got stuck, panic ensures, husband tried and failed to remove, finally get it out - puppy ate used and discarded period cup 🤮
