I’ve had a period every month for 25 years or so and yet every time it comes around I still manage to get blood on my sheets. Like all the way through to the mattress topper. I have a set of sheets now that are just for my cycle. Any recommendations for stain remover, lay it on me!

Rinse with cold water, and make sure the water goes through the back -> front so you don’t push the blood further in. Then use Oxyclean.

Another vote for oxiclean here, but also plain hydrogen peroxide has worked for me.

Peroxide on fresh, a long cold oxyclean soak for dried and set

Cold water wash, with meat tenderizer (the powdered stuff) sprinkled in.

Mine are not on the light side and it can get pretty dramatic. So long as you're showering afterwards it's no big deal.

And near the middle or end I be sure to shoot water up there with my cupped hand to make sure it helps to discharge. The smell of iron can be powerful and I just ignore the floaty gore.

My default response to my partner asking how my period is going has become to simply respond "Planet's dyin', Cloud" Bleaaaagggghhhh Also, does anyone else have a period comfort food that they're not sure if anyone else has? Mine has been ramyun with an egg and it just makes everything feel a little bit better Pomme de Terror fucked around with this message at 16:33 on Dec 8, 2022 |

I tend to enjoy all things dairy. So yogurts taste amazing. I really like tapioca too and usually mix it with some pie filling type cherries. It is amazing.

This is shaping up to be one of those days when I leave work early because it's just so much blood. One of the blood clots I dropped in the shower was about two inches long and shaped like a cat shark, which is kinda cool. I wish I had been able to get a picture even though that would be kinda gross

womb with a view posted:Yeah, there's a lot of contradictory information out there on what to do about breakthrough bleeding, but after this experiment I'm inclined to believe that powering through is going to be the better option next time. If it happens again for too long I'll talk to my doctor, maybe I need to change to a higher dose. Glad that it worked out so well for you in the long term though, that gives me hope! I started topamax because moving back to a place that actually has seasons kicked my migraines into absolute overdrive, but in exchange for being able to do anything for half the month, I seem to have lost some of the emotional-stabilizing effect that I so badly need

I’ve only had 4 cycles this year.  On one hand not having a regular period kicks rear end, but on the other hand, it probably isn’t a great sign that my body has given up on fertility.I think I’m bleeding often enough that I don’t have to go for period-inducing pills, though, which is a win.

When I had to take period inducing pills a few years ago, I started angerly tearing up when I was browsing a tumblr tag and saw fanart of a pairing I didn't like. I then realized high doses of progesterone make me feel like I'm 13 again, which is the actual worst.

Show of hands - who else warms up your tampon in your cleavage so it’s closer to body temp when you insert?

After two weeks of symptoms I was practically yelling at my cooter to do its thing and bleed dammit. Finally bleeding. I know it had to be my covid booster knocking it off course.

How the gently caress can this period be more painful but not correspondingly heavier. This makes no sense. My brain feels like it’s contracting in tandem with my uterus and I want to sleep for an entire week.

It makes inserting it all the more bearable.

Ugh, same. It's like there's not enough tissue there so my uterus is just scraping itself against my paraguard. I nearly threw up at work today and was all shaky even after loading up on ibuprofen.

Only somewhat relevant but drat I wish I didn't get a UTI if I so much as breathe wrong And every time I go in for antibiotics they imply I don't wash like yes I do all the hygiene poo poo I'm supposed to. It doesn't loving help

I had heaps of problems with UTIs until I realised I wasn't fully emptying my bladder each time. I've never actually been diagnosed with anything but apparently my aunt has, some kind of urine retention or bladder spasm or who knows, but resulting in incomplete bladder emptying. For her, she had a full 100ml of urine still left after each time. If you always leave that last little bit of pee stewing away it grows some nasty stuff. I find if I wait for another 5 mins after I pee sometimes it's like I have a whole new extra pee to do and since I've been diligent about peeing ALL of the pee, the UTIs have stopped. If it makes you feel better, back when I was struggling with UTIs the (female) doctor said to me "What have you been doing to yourself to cause this?" like I'd been humping a pile of turds or something. You know, instead of actually investigating a real cause. Being on antibiotics all the time used to give me diarrhea AND thrush. UTI solidarity, I hope you work something out for yours.

UTIs stopped happening for me when I stopped wearing skinny jeans and jeggings. Turns out my vadge has lungs or something and needs to breathe which it can't do in skintight faux-denim, resulting in disgust.

I used to get UTIs all the drat time, and a doctor up here in Canada mentioned something about chicken carrying the bacteria? I thought she was nuts but nope! Turns out chicken can really cause it so be advised e: we switched to buying frozen chicken and ever since I've been free of twat-rot Pyrtanis fucked around with this message at 20:19 on Dec 13, 2022 |

I bought a ton of the cheap amazon dip strip tests to figure out if my piss discomfort is a UTI, a big UTI or just my underwear rubbin weird or my period making my lady bits more acidic and painful. My doc told me that some women are just way more prone to them due to shape so im sorry that your doctor is a shithead. I mostly just drink a ton of water and cranberry pills every month around that time and it mostly does an ok job preventing everything.
