Period, bleeding- longer than usual.
I am now on my period (it's day 5), and usually by this time in my cycle, bleeding is practically done, and all I have is minor spotting/old blood. But this time, my flow is pretty irregular for me, and I am still bleeding (almost medium flow). This is not normal for me, I should be practically done by now. I think that stress is probably a factor, but I am also concerned about one other thing... I started using a menstrual cup (bell shaped, collects blood), called Diva Cup. It was my first cycle using it, and insertion was annoying to say the least, I have been trying to get used to it (it beats pads and tampons by a lot), and I am not sure whether constant inserting/removing could have caused some irregularity in my cycle...
For any ladies out there: is bleeding this far out in my cycle a potential cause of concern, given I'm usually practically done by the 5th day? And also, could the use of the menstrual cup have had anything to do with this (or am I getting worked up over nothing)?? Thanks!

rate your strees levil on a scale of 1-5 five beaing the worse .... if stress is high it could be affecting your body ... another thing is if you have been sexualy active constantly or recently befor your mentral your body may have been trying to prepair its self for possible pregnacy ... while your at a medium flow on day five this is the worriesome part. is the blood a deep red or almost black ? are you clotting ?
and as horrible as pads are they are the most safest thing in a time of igerrgular menstration
you can get TSP witch is the toxin syndrom that develops from traped bactirea in the vaginal area ... if you are changing divas more thrn once every hour to 30 mins please go to the emergency room you may have pelvic inflamation or inflamatin in the utterus
ill pray for you ... their is so only so much advise some one younger then you can give you

Heyy there! So you've started using Diva Cup. Well they are good for the environment so good job! Haha, I understand your concerns about your period.
I understand your period usually lasts for 5 days and longer than this is unusual however, a womans period can last up to 7 days so you shouldn't worry about it being a little longer than usual. (Mine usually last about that long it's completely normal.) It may have something to do with your new menstrual cup but its nothing to worry about.
If you start to notice that your period is longer than a week or you bleed way to much, you might want to see a doctor.
p.s. Menstrual cups have been known to cause yest infections, but only if they aren't cleaned and changed regularly. So if you care for the cup properly they shouldn't cause any problems.
Good luck with your period. Hope i helped!
