diaphragm help!

So I have a diaphragm and have used it fine the first two times. This time it's stuck. It's been in for close to 12 hours now. I can feel the rubber middle, but can't get ahold of the ring. I've tried bearing down and haven't had any luck.

Any suggestions? I'm getting really nervous.

Sometimes when my mooncup has worked it's way up pretty high and is hard to reach, I find that squatting down so I'm resting my butt cheeks on my heels really helps to shorten the vagina and makes it easier to reach in there. Maybe that will help retrieve the diaphragm?

Good luck!

Sorry that bit of advice wasn't more useful for you!

I hope everything comes out ok. (Pun intended.) Also, you can visit any doctor or an emergency room, and they can easily help you out with this. It happens all the time, from what I hear, and is no big deal to those in the medical profession. :) Wishing you luck!
