I tried the instead soft cups about a year ago and thought it was a good idea, when i went back to the drug store the next month they stopped selling them and so i hvant used it. Now i am using nuva ring as birth control and want to track down instead and use it again. My question is...can i use my Nuva Ring and Instead soft cups at the same time?
I'm not sure why you would choose to insert an Instead Soft Cup when you aren't on your period. From my understanding, you are suppose to remove the NuvaRing the week you are due for your period. Correct? That means you would not need to insert them both at the same time.
Then again, many women choose to wear cupes to collect excess discharge or to help them become pregnant (probably not the case if you're using birth control though).
Darn! I wish I had kept the box of Insteads that I purchased awhile ago instead of throw them out. I so would have mailed them to you for you to use if I had known they would have come in handy for someone. I am unable to wear them so they were a waste for me :(
I have sent a message directly to the Instead SoftCups people and expect a response shortly. I wrote them once between and they were fairly prompt and thorough with their answers. I will update my answer when I know FOR SURE the answer. I may even copy the "doctor's" word-for-word letter back. It's better to get a certain answer than for me to take a guess, right? :) CHECK BACK SOON! [ Peeps's advice column | Ask Peeps A Question ]
