vaginapaginaHello. Here´s the briefest I can give, then a ton of background. A lot of complicated things that may or may NOT have to do with the issue.
I got my fullblown period yesterday, fairly normal. I had a pad at 11 am this morning with the typical thicker goobildy gook you sometimes get, the tissues, but they were white, like white, bloodless tissue. The same exact consistency as the red stuff, though. Then I got up out of bed at 2 and went for a short walk to the laundry here. In the middle of my walk, I felt like I gave birth to an alien. As soon as I got back to my hotel I checked and I had, in my pad, between one and two tablespoon size gooey piece of white and red tissue, all the same usual consistency.
I HAVE NEVERRR had this much gooey stuff with the blood before. and Ive never seen it WHITE. It´s not puslike or yeasty, its my own body tissue. WHAT is going on? Am I dying?
Background: I have a week left in a three month trip in south america. Right now, in bolivia. Because I forgot to bring bc with me and wanted to skip my periods while I was here, I bought some at the most reputable pharmacy in Cusco. I knew it was working because i didnt get my period for three weeks beyond the normal date while taking the active pills. Then about a week ago I started spotting, slowly getting heavier (with dark, old blood) when I started a new pack. I thought maybe I got a dud, because its sketchier to buy drugs down here? i tried switching to one of the other pill packs i got, then another. it kept coming, though not fullblown period. I was just one a four day trip in the salt flats, 8 hours a day in a 4wd, and the third day i woke up really ill. everyone thought it was altitude, but i dont think so... i threw up everything i ate all day and only managed an apple, then threw up more at night. the next day was better.. i ate a pancake, bread, some egg whites, tomato slices and cucumbers, but i threw up dinner too. i assumed i had the stomach flu. i felt a little hot and it didnt seem like the earlier, antibiotic treatable illnesses i had. two days ago, i also gave up on the bc from south america and stopped taking it. i began to get my fullblown period, not just light dark spotting, and today this gross goop.
I think the stomach flu and vomiting are seperate from the spotting and strange tissues, but I wanted to put it out there in case they were connected.

It could be the effects of the new pills mixed in with being ill, a lot of that is bound to mess your cycle a bit. You might want to get it checked out though when you go home. It could be something else, not to freak you out, but its better to be safe than sorry.
