So, I kinda posted earlier about this, but this is the same problem from a different angle, as it were.
I've always had pretty light periods, with little to no period pain. Just recently they've become a lot heavier. I find myself having to leave social situations because I can feel that my sanitary towel is going to flood, and I don't want to stain my dress. I've had two embarassing incidents recently in hotels where I've left bloody splotches on the sheets. Look away now if you're squeamish: I had a ghastly, horrible thing today where I felt something damp running down the back of my leg and *hoped* it was sweat - it was a blood clot, which came out of the end of my trouser leg and stained the carpet. I had to pick it up in a piece of tissue, and yeeeeuuuurrrgh. Sorry. I'm also having very strong, cramping period pains.
As I said in my previous post, I've been checked out for just about everything. But does anyone have any tips to make it less 'orrible?
