I'm actually pretty proud of myself for powering through now that it's over (and I've had a chance to clean up/take the good drugs for the pain that abruptly started along with the blood).
I think it may be time for me to start keeping a change of underwear, if nothing else, at work and in my skating bag. At least until I get my uterus out (crossing my fingers--family history being what it is, it's coming out by age 45 anyway like it has for all but one of my first- and second-degree female relatives, so I see no reason not to move the timetable up since I can keep an ovary) or until I get on a way better bc regimen. I feel like I've effectively moved myself into perimenopause with all the hormone tinkering I and my gyn have been doing this year. I've been on three different bc pills in fewer than twelve months, plus the fourth type I used to stop the bleeding that sent me to the ER in October. Perhaps my body is just confused and acting out, in addition to its general disagreeableness around the subject of menstruation.
