Increased discharge before period?

onlygoodbook wrote in menstrualhut Jul 16, 2010 07:55

My period is due some time this week and I've been experiencing increased vaginal discharge that's white-ish and dries stiff. Is this normal? It's not clear and ropey like the discharge I experience near ovulation.

Can hot weather affect discharge? That may be a dumb question.

Anyone here got the contraceptive implant? (the little tube in your arm?)

Cramps, back pain and no period.

My period is now one day later than it has been in the two years I've been casually tracking my cycle. My cycles vary in length from 29-34 days and today is day 35. I once had a cycle (last July-August) that ran 45 days, but I was just returning from Tanzania with a serious case of food poisoning at that time, so that made sense to me that it was ( Read more... )

Nausea with ovulation.

This is my best guess - my body is super-sensitive to fluctuations in hormones. I'm often intensely nauseous the week before my period. This month, I am moving into ovulation and I'm nauseous again. I had a normal period that started May 11 and ended by May 16. I should be ovulating this week and, true to form, my discharge became clear and ropey ( Read more... )

Sea Sponge Tampons in NYC?

Does anyone know of any shops in NYC that carry sponge tampons? I've searched all over the web but can't seem to find any info on brick-and-mortar stores that carry alternative menstrual products. :\

If anyone in the area could point me in the right direction, I'd be so grateful. Thanks in advance for any info!

Strange Blood Stains

I noticed this while I was clearing out some of my clothes for Goodwill or other destinations yesterday.

Some of my dark pants -- the ones that end up being my "period pants" precisely because blood stains don't show on the outside -- have strange stains in the crotch and inner thigh regions. They're the same kind of "bleached out"-looking stains ( Read more... )

annoying hunger/cravings and no solution!

pour_vrai wrote in menstrualhut Mar 15, 2010 01:25

So for the past week-ish I've been experiencing my main PMS/period symptom, which is ravenous hunger. This time around it's particularly annoying. Nothing in my kitchen or from Taco Bell will hit the spot or scratch the itch right. What I mean by that is I think there's something that, if eaten, will satisfy my very ambiguous craving, but I can't ( Read more... )

Going on three months now...

So for years and years after I started my periods they weren't regular, I'd often skip a month and sometimes it felt like I'd get one every other. But in the past few it has settled down into something more normal, if still irregular ( Read more... )

Period 'waiting' for you to go home.

herminia wrote in menstrualhut Mar 11, 2010 08:45

This may sound crazy, but ever since I moved away to college four years ago, I've noticed that my period will sometimes 'wait' a few days past its anticipated arrival date if my body 'knows' that I'm going home to my parents' house for the weekend. Has anyone else ever noticed this ( Read more... )

Can sex delay a period for a few days?

aufjedenfall wrote in menstrualhut Mar 10, 2010 11:42

I have a crazy question. First of all, I am-let’s see-approximately 97% certain that I’m not pregnant, since my boyfriend and I use condoms religiously. On Monday, I had the type of building/worsening cramps that always precede my period and was sure that my period would start within 24 hours based on the intensity of my pain. On Monday night, ( Read more... )
