I tried menstrual cups many years ago but I have a very high cervix and could not get them to work. I tried a couple of different brands and styles but they always leaked bad. I gave up after about 1 year of trying then switched to just reusable pads. They are getting time to be replaced but I came across reusable menstrual discs and I’m wondering if this could be a potential replacement? Or will I most likely just have the same issues I did with the cup? I hate traveling with my usable pads and they are uncomfortable when I work out. Again, I have a very high cervix so looking for opinions for those who have one as well!

Thanks!

Many years ago, I tried using menstrual cups but could not get them to work as I have a very high cervix. I’ve been using reusable pads which have worked well, but I hate traveling with them and they aren’t the most comfortable. I came across menstrual discs and wondering if these could potentially work for me with my high cervix? If so, what brands do you recommend? Need to be reusable. I’m in the US.

Thanks!!

I took my 16 year old boy to the vet earlier this week to address his arthritis. The vet and I decided to trial the Librela shot with as needed carprofen. I know it is too soon to tell if the shot is going to help as the vet said it usually takes 2 shots to see a difference.

For those who have your dog on the Librela shot, I am curious if you are also giving them any sort of joint health supplements? I have been giving him Dasuquin for the past 5 years and the vet is obviously fine with it, but did say that there really isn’t substantial evidence to prove glucosamine helps with joint health. However, for being 16, he is moving around pretty darn well so I really think it has helped! He has never been overweight which I know helps too. I am considering adding in fish oil as I’ve read that can help with inflammation, but forgot to ask the vet about that. Just not sure if it’s necessary with the shot?

He has shown a somewhat significant decline in mobility over the past 6 months or so, but otherwise is a very happy, healthy pup! His blood work is perfect. I just want to give him the best care as he deserves it and I know it’s coming to the point where our time together is limited.❤️

I would love to hear your experience with the Librela shot as well as I’m hoping it really helps him!

Thanks!

Hey ladies! Looking for some opinions.

Up until about 7 years ago, I was doing a lot of long distance running. Running 1 to 3 races a year of half marathons and 10K’s and even two full marathons. During this time, I was working an 8-5 job, which made training easy as I could run before or after work. I then changed jobs to working three 12 hour shifts. I changed jobs about halfway through training for my second full marathon and got completely burnt out trying to balance training with my new schedule and just the stress of learning a new job. After that race, I actually stopped running completely for about 2 years. I started running again but just causally with a max of 3 miles.

I would LOVE to run another half marathon, but here’s the concern. The days I work are often clustered together and I would only run on my days off so I would be running 3 days in a row. I currently will do that now, but again, I’m only running 2-3 miles. At my peak training, I could potentially be running 5, 10, 5 or 3, 12, 5 miles in a row (hopefully that makes sense!). I am wondering if thats a bad idea? Or do any of you run longer distances multiple days in a row without issue?

I work 5:30 am to 5:30/6 pm and I’m completely burnt out after work so I wouldn’t have enough energy to run on days I work. I was going to sign up for it last month before the price increased but chickened out. 😅

Thank you!

Edit: Just to clarify, I have a HM plan that I would follow which has me running 4 days a week. It’s just that 3 of those days are going to have to be in a row, which I never did this back when I was running HM’s consistently. I only ran 2 in a row and didn’t run the day before or after my weekly long run.
