To be narked that I got my period now

I have not had one for months (periods are very hit and miss around here) and me and DH are having a weekend away Without Children this weekend, a rarer than rare treat!

I want to cry at the injustice of it!

Typical isn't it

Will the place have a shower??

Poo for you

It's a bit short notice, as they take about a week to arrive, but these are ace

tyler80 · 07/07/2010 18:42

at those beppy things

"your partner won't even notice?"!!!

What you've got a sponge tampon in your vagina and one: your other half won't notice? and two: wouldn't doing the deed just squeeze all the contents of the sponge out?

secunda · 07/07/2010 18:47

No, honestly. damp warm sponge doesn't feel that different to cervix, tbh. They are kind of flat discs of sponge and sit right at the top. You have to pop a new one in relatively soon before having sex (if it is full it would prob squeeze out). But they are top.

How do you get in it?

secunda · 07/07/2010 19:03

Do you mean 'how do you get it in?'

with your finger, diddl dear

MumNWLondon · 07/07/2010 19:07

go to GP immediately and ask for progesterone, will stop period if it just started...

PuppyMonkey · 07/07/2010 19:11

I got told once on MN that if I didn't fancy the idea of sex during my period, I was against women's lib or something.

AgentZigzag · 07/07/2010 19:16

More to the point, how do you get it out??

You'd have to have a big un for them not to notice you've got it in (or them a small un)

diddl · 07/07/2010 19:28

The reason I was asking how to get it in was the shape of it.

What I should have put was does it go in "a certain way round" iyswim.

secunda · 07/07/2010 19:31

Yes one side is shaped to fit your cervix. To get it out, well, you just hook it out with your finger. ZigZag, it compresses under, uh, pressure (willy pressure)

queribus · 07/07/2010 19:42

Puppy - I was once told that you couldn't call yourself a feminist unless you'd licked your own menstrual blood off a cock

fatheadsgirl · 07/07/2010 19:57

(not that I'm cock-ist I wouldn't lick it off anything)

And no OP YANBU. Mother nature is quite simply, on occasion a bitch!

AgentZigzag · 07/07/2010 20:21

Got a bit sidetracked by that spongy thing

You're going to have a fantastic time regardless OP cos you'll have peace and quiet and only have to talk when you want to

Hope the weather holds out for you, if you get out of bed to care enough.

queribus · 07/07/2010 20:24

LOL at cock-ist

MichaelBublesPillow · 07/07/2010 20:31

well I never! What an invention! I have had my eyes well and truly opened but I fear in my case, nothing short of a car washing sponge would stem the flow

Fantastic tip re Progesterone though, thank you MumNWLondon I shall get to see him in the morning

MichaelBublesPillow · 07/07/2010 20:34

Agent you are so right! Peace.....not having to make a drink/food/get up off the sofa/bed/loo unless I want to....

Weather looking decidedly dodgy, but who cares

Queribus that actually made my mouth water as if I were about to vom. How completely revolting - I don't like anything about it, never mind subjecting my DH to it, but to gag lick gag it gag off his cock..... I need to lie down somewhere quietly.

queribus · 07/07/2010 20:39

MBP - apologies!!

It was said to me in all seriousness by a VERY earnest women at university. For obvious reasons - it's revolting! - it's stuck with me.

Enjoy your weekend!

MumNWLondon · 07/07/2010 21:37

Your are welcome. I was also going to suggest diaphram but might not help with heavy flow.

Ryoko · 07/07/2010 22:01

Not had one for months lucky you, I had my son 8 and a half weeks ago, I had a period within 3 days of the lochia stopping and now I'm having another one exactly 2 weeks since the last one finished and will have to phone the GP tomorrow to change my appointment for a smear test .
