ok, i started my period friday...it was fairly normal, nothing out of the ordinary. it's slowing down now and should stop tonight or tomorrow, but i noticed something last night.


1. my inner labia (the inside, by the entrance to my vagina) are itchy
2. i'm still bleeding, but nothing is coming OUT, i.e., i can put my finger in and get blood on it, there was blood in my cup, etc, but the outside of my vagina is very dry and irritated.

i took my cup out last night to try and curb the irritation, figuring i would free flow through the night. nothing on the towel this morning. put a finger inside while in the shower, sure enough there was brown clotty mess on it. so i cut up a towel and stuck it in my undies, figuring it would catch whatever flowed out. nope, nothing from 7am till now...nothing. everytime i went to the bathroom during the day, there was blood on the paper...just got home and did the finger test, blood on my finger.

wtf? why won't my vagina expel anything?? aaargh.

and furthermore, any suggestions about what to do to get the gunk OUT? i'm using a sea sponge soaked in water/vinegar now to try and help the irritation. :/ blah.

you're just freaking out. if you calm down, your muscles will relax and you will be fine. i've had this problem before. *phew*

you're probably right, i've had a pretty stressful week. i'm going to yoga now...that should help. :)

thanks.

Yeah sometimes I'll "dry up" for a day or so and then all of a sudden when I'm not thinking about it "BLURP!" - a big ol' clot passes by and then it's back to the normal flow of things.

your flow is just light. it'll come out when it wants to. blood can be finicky like that.
