Currently still new to paper making, how are you guys storing prepared pulp? Mine is currently in a Tupperware and I noticed when I open the Tupperware to use it after it sits a while it is smelly. Is this just from the paper or is there bacteria growth and I should throw it away? I did make a batch with the stinky pulp and it turned out fine, not smelly once dried. I also reuse my water from batch to batch so maybe it’s just smelly water from the paper? Thoughts? Is there a better way to store the pulp or should I not be storing it at all?

I (21F) have had my IUD almost a year with no issues until this last month where I’ve been bleeding for 30 days. After ultrasound they found that it’s embedded in my left uterine wall (likely embedded since insertion). Today I was told they are doing in an office removal and I am to take some ibuprofen before hand. The physician who evaluated my ultrasound said she wasn’t comfortable doing an in office removal and suggested surgery… guess they changed their mind. I also can’t get in to get it removed for another 1-2 months. Should I be advocating more for surgical removal and an expedited removal? It hurt so bad going in and I’m terrified that since it’s embedded it will be worse having removed.
