Menstrual Flow Control

[intimidorable.livejournal.com]

Alright. I hope this doesnt sound way too wackey but is there any way to naturally control your healing process during your period? I've got this super heavy flow for two days, then a very very light "i'm leaving now! buh-Bye! No blood at all!" period for a day or two followed by two days of "HAH! FOOLED YOU! I WAS HIDING *GUUUSSSHHH!* OW!" followed by nothing until the next cycle. Is there any way to regulate yourself into a steady GUSH then GOODBYE or GOODBYE then GUSH? I've had my period for 8 or 9 years and it still tricks me and makes thing irritating.

Mine enjoys (takes great delight) doing something similar about 50% of the time, now I use a mooncup so I dont notice as much when it decides to do that. I don't have any real suggustion, just offering sympathy.

Ya, that same thing used to happen to me every cycle. I've only had one post pregnancy period and it wasn't like that, so maybe pregnancy? hahaha. I just learned to expect it, but it still fooled me 80% of the time.

Hehe... I'll add in my experience. It's SO frustrating! But I'll second what fruchtzwergchen said, a diva cup or mooncup that you can leave in there for many hours might be the best solution.

You might get on HBC. Mine used to be kind of like yours and now it's a pretty standard steady flow.

Mine does that too! Days 1+2 are like OMG AM I ANEMIC YET? and I can barely notice day 3. Day 4, everything starts up again and my period REALLY goes away by day 6 or 7. I use a DivaCup now, so I don't notice thefluctuation as much because I only empty it every 5-9 hours instead of every 2 hours which I did with tampons.
