Gah...

I was stupid. I was *so* convinced that my period was over in record time that I took out the pad and went to the playground with Ana... just in time for it to come back full speed and soak my pants. Not any visible part, luckily, but the underwear's shot to hell. And I'm pretty much stuck here until Jenn gets home and I can steal her comfy scooby pajamas to walk home in, carrying my sopping jeans (they're in the tub right now) in a bag.

Jenn, unfortunately, is probably heading to the hospital again. She got her period today, as she expected, but she also soaked through her pants. Twice. Through two different tampons, and the third one soaked through fast. Also, one would expect to see blood clots (and if you don't know that, you should) and instead it's all just bright red. So she's going to go to the hospital after she comes home.

I had a similar bleeding problem just over a year ago. I finally resorted to using a folded up tea towel just so I could get to the hospital.

I was admitted and they did a D&C because I had some fibroids. Then, to help prevent it happening again, they fitted a hormone coil. All this was done under general anaesthetic so I wasn't aware of what was going on - which was great because I'm a big coward.

Now I get very light periods but not very regular ones. Considering what they used to be like, though, it's a blessing.

Hope she's okay.

Diaper doublers. Honestly, as soon as I stop putting it off, I'm getting reusable pads. Very comfortable.

And she seems to be okay. She didn't go to the hospital after all, the bleeding tapered off.
