    are you serious, or just joking ab wednesday regularity?
    wow...

    forwardventure,
    no, its not light flow, very heavy...

    it didnt use to be that way...

    my gyno wants me to go on the pill to regulate this shit and stuff,
    but i had terrible experiences with it (well, yeah, i was 17 at the time, though...)
    and i dont want to go hormonal again...

    i regulated my hormons with homeopathy for a while...
    i guess i need to go and make appointment again...:)

    :confused: May I ask how you did that? After being on the pill I've come to the conclusion that my depression is mainly due to some kind of hormonal imbalance, and if I could work on that without having to take birth control or antidepressents I'd prefer to do so. Any insight, links, book titles, etc. would be very very welcome.

    edit: Oh. And as to not divert the course of your thread, feel free to PM me if you'd prefer.

    shit, 10 days??
    i have 8 day ones for while when i was on a bc that didnt work for me.
    now (not on bc) mine last 3-4 days with the first day being moderate and the remaining days being light.
    i also get killer cramps on the first day only.

    when i was on bc (one that worked well enough for me) my periods were 5 days i think.
    and after i went off the pill is when i first started getting cramps, before that i had never had one in my life.

    No, I wasn't kidding. Now and then it will scare me and wait until 8pm or morning the next day, but usually it's between the hours of 1 and 3pm. :p
    Killer cramps the second day, though. Always. Erg.

    Mine was like that, and the pill did help, but like you said, it' not very natural. I've been feeling guilty about that for a while...



    Little OT, but your dress is absolutely gorgeous...:eek:

    Mine usually lasts five days. I had a heavy period for five days like usual but I've been spotting for almost a week now. It's really starting to irritate me.

    From the moment I got my period (12), up until I was 17 when i stopped them (Depo), they would last for 28 days, then i wouldn't have one for 6 months, however when i got a bit older (14/15), it'd still last for 28 days but i'd have a week or two with nothing and then it would start all over again :(

    Now thanks to Depo I don't have to worry about it, however I think its having the opposite affect on my body and its now trying to rebel against me once more :( hence the reason I've now booked a Dr's appt...

    Sorry for the slightly long post!
