my period is behaving very oddly today...

it usually lasts me about 6 or 7 days. last month it was only 5, but that's also the month i started using my keeper.

so i've been using it again this month, and everything was fine (though a little sore... it's still taking me a while to get used to removing it, since i'm rather small). yesturday (day 4) the blood was brown, not red anymore, so i figured that, like last month, it was ending earlier. woo.

but just now... i removed my keeper as usual, but while i'm sitting there i start bleeding bright red. really bright red, and it doesn't look like normal menstrual fluid, it just looks like regular blood.
should i be worried about this? i'm wondering if maybe i scratched myself inside with my fingernails or something (though they're not that long to begin with)? or if that problem with the keeper's stem poking into me has hurt me somehow? i don't know what's wrong. i shouldn't be bleeding like this :\ argg.

I don't know all that much about the keeper (I've worn tampons for the past five or so years), but my period behaves like that sometimes. I've had it stop completely, drying up as if it were over, and then a day later the red blood will all come pouring out. I talked to a gyno, and she said that really doesn't indicate anything wrong with you. If it keeps happening, ask a doctor.

hmm... okay. i guess i'm just worried because this has never happened to me before... and i was paranoid that maybe i hurt something inside me or such.
if it happens again though, yeah, i'll ask my doctor about it.

thanks for your help :)
