Leaking help!

Hello cup-geniuses!

I'm new to cups and am having some issues.  I purchased a Diva Cup 2 because I had a very high cervix (I could never even find it) and I'm 30 years old.  I used it for a cycle and once I got used to insertion and removal had no issues at all.

This cycle is a bit different.  I went off birth control pills after ten years on, and this period is much different.  It's very heavy, and my cervix is riding pretty low (about an inch and a half up).  Now my Diva is leaking like crazy!  I'm not sure what to do.  Do I need a different cup?  Or do I just need to position this one differently?

I know that turning it inside out would shorten it, but my cup tends to ride up high and I need the stem to remove it.

Any help would be appreciated!
