Embarrasing Menstrual Situation

I'm lucky to have a very light period and be pretty regular, so I haven't had many embarrassing moments. But last summer I went on vacation to the Canary Islands, and I think the long flight must have thrown my cycle off. We were at a nude beach when I felt a little trickle that I knew wasn't sweat...I had blood running down my thigh for all to see. I dipped into the ocean to rinse, but felt dirty for the entire long walk back to the hotel. Thank God that people that go to nude beaches aren't uptight about human bodies and their functions, and thank God for bidets!

I've had so many embarrassing period experiences! I think one of the worst ones was a few years ago I was spending the night at my boyfriends, I was wearing his shirt and boxers to bed. He had a tiny bed too so we'd be squished together! When we woke up i got up and noticed my period had come....... all over his bed!!! I was so embarrassed. He immediately changed everything on his bed, I think I hid in the bathroom for a while after LOL! But he told me it wasn't that big of a deal and it was fixable and accidents happen so I got over it quickly. And it's true... accidents do happen, but I'd rather that have happened with him than anywhere else!

September 07. My periods are horrible, I pass stuff that is sometimes frightening. Anyway, I'm a police dispatcher, which means I usually am the only female working. I'm in the office by myself, so I can't just run to the potty. In September, I'm sitting in my chair and feel something ooze out. I call in an officer so I can go to the restroom, his response "again?" "yes, again". Half down the hall this this huge clot (probably 4" in diameter) falls out of my pant leg onto the floor. My officer is staring at it in disbelief and horror. Not knowing what to do, I picked it up YUCK!!!!! and went on my way. He never said a word about it, I was embarrassed. Then that night on my way home, I feel the ooze again. When I got home my car seat was full of blood, I was sooooo mad. I woke my husband up with "MEET IN THE BATHROOM NOW!!!!!!" So he gets up, I take my pants off, in the bathtub, and there is this string of clots or something hanging out me about 2' long. I'm not sure, but somehow this is my husband's fault. I start yelling at him, he was so grossed out. My ob/gyn wants to do an ablation, I'm ready.

So this is the most recent embrassing experience. I used to use bc pills and decided that considering I'm going on 30 don't want to put myself at any health risks...I go off the pill. Intially when I was young I had horrible cramps this is why I got on the pill. So we all know that after getting off the pill most of us aren't as regular as we would like to be including myself. I started at work, no signs, no horrible cramps NOTHIng!!! I bleed through my pants. I'm currently in supervision so I have to walk around most of the day instructing people what or what not to do. Went to our weekly meeting and presented our goals and objective to co-workers. I'm not sure when I actually started in the beginning or end of the shife. But when I got home and I was motified!

I got my first period when I was sixteen my graduating year in h.s. So naturally my period was not on track. I was at my grad weekend celebration and boom in front of my crush my blue jeans now had a stain on them..I was so embarassed. I had one change of clothes...white shorts. So I played it off rather cool for a young girl I pretended I had no idea what happened "I must have sat in something"?? Later that night at 3 am I washed out the stain super fast. Thank god all my friends were super cool and allthe girls were super sweet. That was my moment.

Upon first meeting my now ex-boyfriend's grandparents I was already pretty nervous. They were the first family members I had been introduced to and they invited me over for dinner. Things were going great while we were eating and everyone was talking and having a nice dinner. i hadn't moved at all since I had sat down to eat. Before I knoew it, time was up and it was time to leave. I stood up and there was a very noticeable red circle on the white seat cushion I sat on. You can figure out how the rest ended, needless to say I was extremely mortified!
