My period loves to toy with me. I'm low on cash, so naturally I'm about to run out of pads right in the middle of my flow. I put on a pad to sleep in, and my sweatpants and sheet get bloodied, but not the pad. Then I think, today's going to be a heavy-flow day, and I obligingly change the pad... only to have one eensy spot by the end of the day. And yeah, I'm bleeding heavy again now, once I'm out of pads.

On the upside, I no longer feel like killing things.

On the note of pads: I can't use tampons or keepers or cups, because I am terribly, terrifyingly squeamish. I tried a tampon once and nearly freaked out. Controlling my cramps, heavy flow and hormones with the pill was a no-go, too, since it made me so retchingly sick that being cramp-free wasn't an equitable trade-off. But I digress: Pads. I'm a little tired of seeing the massive pileup of the disposables every month in my bathroom trashcan. Considering the alternatives either freak me out or make me sick, I'm looking into the reusable cloth pads. How do these work out for you who use them? They look very comfy.

Okay. Wow. Um. Yes.

*takes deep breath*

I'm really worried I might have something wrong with my ovaries or something like that. I've been having my period less and less. I'm lucky if I have it once every two months. And I can't remember the last time I had one right now. I lie and say I have it whenever it best suits me but... Lets just say, if I woke up one morning to find my sheets soaked in blood, I wouldn't be mad or upset at all. I would rejoice.

And... I really thought my period was going to start this week. On Saturday, I went to the bathroom, and I noticed a thick redish gray discharge. I've been having that for awhile/years the day before my period starts (which I also don't think is normal, but w/e). But then... Sunday it didn't start. Nor did it start on Monday. So that night, (I can't believe I'm letting you people know this but...) I was masturbating. And I noticed I was bleeding. Bleeding like I would if I was having my period. I was so happy. I checked my thong to see if there was blood on it, and there wasn't. So I figured it must have just started. So I put a tampon in and was happy. That morning when I woke up though, I went to take the tampon out... and there was hardly any blood on it. I mean, it was like it was my last day when there was hardly any left. Then Tuesday, there was absolutely nothing. Wednesday... there was that weird redish discharge again. Now I'm kind of bleeding, but not. (I know, that last sentance doesn't make sense at all.)

I'm so lost and paranoid that there's some kind of infection festering inside of me. I'm afraid that, when I get older, I won't be able to have kids. Or what if there is nothing wrong with me and I'm just a paranoid little freak??? I don't know...

My best friend said I should go see a doctor. I'm afraid. I don't want to. I don't want to have to tell my parents, I don't want to have to tell some doctor I've only met once. I don't want people I don't know looking at me and touching me in or around that area. I don't want any of that.

But I want to know what the heck is up with my body.

So if any of you can shed any light... I'd really apprechiate it.

Me and my bizzare problems...

Hey there, I'm new! Anyway, my menstrual cycle isn't very coopertive. It used to be like clockwork, for about 7 years at least. And, then I went to college and now it isn't happy. For the last year it has managed to become irregular. 5 days late, 2 days early, 3 days late, 4 days early, you get the idea. It has decided to change from bleeding 7 days to now 5. My cramps aren't nearly as TERRIBLE as they were. Only, now I have not only gotten irregular, but also I now have PMS. I didn't used to. I don't get that irritable (not like my mom, anyway) instead, I get sort of paranoidish anxious. I worry until I am sick. I worry that my period isn't going to come even though I am not sexually active (I never said that I worried about logical things!). I worry that I'm going to get robbed (?). This month I'm not worrying that much, but instead I just don't feel like myself. I recently had a tiny dermoid cyst discovered on an ovary (I've already had a cancer surgeon look at it--nothing to worry about, I should be getting it out over Christmas). I have moved 5 times (litterally!) in the last year. Why is my PMS so horrible and how can I get rid of it? I complained to a gyno about it and they gave me the pill which I will start at the beginning of this next cycle, when it decides to arrive. ANY advice would be much appreciated!

okay, i dont know if this has to do with anything but...ive noticed RIGHT before my period...say 2-3 days, i get sick. Not sick as in, throwing up or whatever. I mean sick as in, runny/stuffy nose and sneezing. EVERYSINGLE time, right before i get my period. I was jw if anyone else had this problem, or if anyone has an explanation. maybe its not even connected to my period at all...i just thought it was odd that iut happens right before i get it...every month. :-/
