I've used the cup and at first it was great but once my things got stolen I had to purchase another one and that time I was always getting nauseous, I'm not sure if it's just Endo being Endo or if it was actually the cup. Sooo yesterday I purchased the same brand but the disc, I'm hoping this will be better for me. I can't stand pads and period underwear never works for me as I have a really heavy flow. Any input? It came with a reusable one with two disposable ones

Unfortunately I can't use either cup as to heavier flow. But if you can they are a good way are saving some money.

Nausea is a common symptom of endometriosis, particularly during menstruation when hormone levels fluctuate. High estrogen levels can make endometriosis symptoms, including nausea, more intense. While your nausea could be related to the menstrual cup, it's also possible it's a symptom of your endometriosis.

Nausea is a common symptom of endometriosis, particularly during menstruation when hormone levels fluctuate. High estrogen levels can make endometriosis symptoms, including nausea, more intense. While your nausea could be related to the menstrual cup, it's also possible it's a symptom of your endometriosis.

Here are some strategies that may help manage nausea while using period products:
• Eat small, frequent meals throughout the day
• Try ginger tea or ginger ale
• Stay hydrated with clear fluids
• Avoid lying down right after eating
• Consider trying anti-nausea medications (after consulting your healthcare provider) If you continue experiencing nausea with the disc, you might want to track when the nausea occurs and discuss this with your healthcare provider. They can help determine if it's related to the product or if it's an endometriosis symptom that needs additional management. Remember that what works for one person may not work for another, so it may take some trial and error to find the right solution for you.
