Re: Ladies, how do you cope at night during your time of monthtampon + panty liner.. and set my alarm for half way through my sleep (usually like 4 hours later) to change/avoid leakage for the first 2 or 3 nights, after this the flow is much lighter and im able to sleep through the night (yay!)

Re: Ladies, how do you cope at night during your time of monthI knew someone who had a coil and it got lost in her :/ That totally put me off ever getting one.. Plus I like the way that the pill gives you control over when you have periods.(Original post by Sakura-Chan)
Yeah, I'm thinking about going back on the pill. I've been on it before but I have the coil at the moment and I'm not really looking forward to having it taken out

Re: Ladies, how do you cope at night during your time of monthIt's the best thing ever, I get to find women attractive and beautiful without religions condemning me, I get to pee without sitting down, no periods, no childbirth, no guys hitting on me, plus no one asks me to make them a sammich(Original post by littleone271)

So educate me...how big is the womb inside of an average woman? It's got to be massive..like the tardis, to make you girls bleed so much ._. -

Re: Ladies, how do you cope at night during your time of monthI never bled at night when I still had periods (I don't get them at all on my pill). The bleeding would stop at about 11pm and start up again an hour or 2 after I would wake up. I would have that for about 2.5 - 3 days and that was it. No cramps or aches or anything. Is that not normal? I've never seen these night pads or had blood issues at night...

Re: Ladies, how do you cope at night during your time of monthAccording to google... a non pregnant uterus is about the size of a pear and according to the NHS website the average amount of blood lost is 30-40ml with some women losing 80ml+(Original post by slylee)

I guess it doesn't really sound like much but because it's lost so gradually and it looks like so much if you leak, it feels like you're losing a lot more. Plus it feels pretty gross and puts (most of) us in bad moods and I find that I actually feel much colder when I'm on even though I feel fine when I donate 500ml of blood straight from my vein.Last edited by littleone271; 14-04-2012 at 03:04. -

Re: Ladies, how do you cope at night during your time of month._. I had a nose bleed that lasted 5 minutes once, so I can TOTALLY relate.(Original post by littleone271)

Re: Ladies, how do you cope at night during your time of monthIf I don't use a tampon and a (extra absorbant and extra long night time) pad then there's about 3 nights when I'd leak and even then I'm nearly leaking after 7 hours or so . . . one time I completely ruined a duvet cover and sheet before I wore tampons aswell. I'm starting the pill soon anyway so that should help hopefully.

Re: Ladies, how do you cope at night during your time of monthI have to wear one of those and a tampon for heavier periods and even then after about 7-8 hours both are just about filled!(Original post by shazthesheep)
Attachment 140244 These bad boys do the trick, I'm not too keen on tampons either!
