Corkscrew coming out in sleep when sick

So I’m currently fighting a cold and my nose keeps getting blocked then unblocked. My piercing is currently 9 weeks old and I woke up last night to it half out due to my nose being thicker on one side as if was thicker on the side that was blocked (if that makes sense)

Is that normal?

Has it happened to others?

I have heard it happening to people with a L bar in but never a corkscrew. I

have changed it a few times myself (not changing it anymore til it’s healed better) so putting it back in, in my sleep was fine but it was unexpected and I’m now worried that anytime I’m sick (coming into winter) it could fall out in my sleep.

ACTUAL healing times???

Can everyone please tell me how long it actually took for them to be able to change their nose stud to a hoop?

I know everyone’s bodies are different but I was told 4 months by the piercer, then 3-4 by some women who is a piercer online, then people ln other forums are saying a year!

It’s just such a broad spectrum of time, it would be good to get a general consensus.

I had my pigtail changed to a flat neck by a professional at 7 weeks, then I temporarily changed it to a ring for a few days at 8 weeks, it felt fine just a bit tender so I have changed it back to a pigtail and am going to leave it at that for a few more months. Currently at 9 weeks post pierce it’s been the most agonising wait ever as an impatient person.
