Pregnant?: If you have irregular period or are not sure when you ovulated, you can do a urine home pregnancy test 14 days after you last had unprotected sex.
However for accuracy of result, it is recommended to do the test 21 days after intercourse.

PG test?: If your are sexually active, now would be a good time to run a pregnancy test. If you are not, then see a GYN MD and find out why your period is late.

Blood: Menstrual flow is actually deteriorating 1) fertilized eggs. 2)endometrial lining. 3) cervical mucous. 4) corpus luteum. This bloody discharge is high in iron in various
stages of breaking down. Frequent washing with clean warm soapy water is
the safest way of eliminating odors.

Are menstrual cups safe?

Should be: There is no evidence to the contrary. The most important thing about menstrual cups is that you use them as directed and you follow closely the recommendations for cleaning and storage. They can generally be worn up to 12 hours before emptying, cleaning, and re-inserting. So far, there are no reported cases of toxic shock syndrome. They are an environmentally responsible alternative to tampons.

Anyone know what is a menstrual cup?

Dr. Linda Gromkoanswered

Catches flow...: A menstrual cup is a soft, flexible device that a woman inserts in the vagina to catch her menstrual flow. She empties, rinses, and replaces it as often as needed. It's sort of like a diaphragm in appearance. (please note that you wouldn't use a menstrual cup as a contraceptive; a woman must be fit for the proper diaphragm size, and use the diaphragm with a spermicide for it to be effective!).
