Festival Rag!

[fightingfish.livejournal.com]

So. Music festivals. I'm a bit of a veteran but I've never had the misfortune to be in the hut whilst camping...but it looks like I'm going to be spending this year's Glastonbury bleeding profusely. Urgh. The bleeding itself I can quite happily handle, but the whole changing of pads ritual = extra minutes spend in awkward postitions in frankly disgusting portaloos. Sigh. Any survival tips?

The dumb thing is I just got put on the pill, and I meant to start this month, and if that had worked out I could at least have attempted to skip (although frankly I doubt it would have worked, what with it being my first month on BC), but I ended up staying with friends when I came on so I had no access to my pills for a few days. So another bc-free month it is.

I suppose I could hop back up to the doctors and beg from some progesterone to delay it...but I get the impression they'd tell me to bugger off, we just gave you the pill. Heh.

though i hate tampons, if i were in your position i'd probably just stuff my pockets full of the them & make do.

Buy a mooncup! You can empty it into something in your tent instead, and you wouldn't have to change it so often.

I'm a little confused on the going back to ask for progestrone - but I've gone to my dr a few times asking for extra packs of bc in order to MOVE my period (it used to start on a friday... and that'll never do...) or to delay it... and she's given me free packs of pills to do that with... it's worth a shot! :) some doctors are really understanding about that - maybe even explain your situation :)

goodluck!
