Mooncup and TMI

I bought a Mooncup after reading on here how fantastic they are. i really like the idea of the and I'm getting on ok with mine.

i first noticed something wrong after my period before this one. I struggle to get the Mooncup out sometimes so have to pull it without releasing the suction before I can get a good grip but after my period when I had an internal feel around everything seemed lower. I think I could feel my cervix. Anyway, I thought I was bein paranoid so thought I'd give it another go this time.

I wasn't very well before I started my period this time so when I started and it was different I put it down to illness. The blood in the mooncup was really thick, not really liquid at all. I'm coming to the end now and I've worried myself again so had a feel and it feels really spongy, as though theres something spongy sitting just inside waiting to come out. Also, the blood is more like little individual clots. I'm not explaining myself very well. My main concern is I've damaged myself in some way. Is it possible to pull everything down with the mooncup?

Sorry for the weird detail and any mistakes, I'm on my phone.

It's just because the blood is collecting in the mooncup so it will prob start to clot a bit.
Remember to empty in onto a bit of loo paper down the toilet or the thick blood makes a big stain.

Thanks. I know its probably nothing but it hasn't been like this other times. My illness has meant I've been really dehydrated so I wasn't sure if that would make a difference to menstrual blood. I'm sure after a few more times using it I'll think I was worrying over nothing but it's more the internal feel of everything. i need to take more notice of how it feels between periods. I don't want to give up on the Mooncup anyway, I much prefer it to tampons and pads and I don't want this thread to put other people of trying them.
