help swimming on very very heavy period

[belltenthelp]

Hi,

Sorry for essay!

Very heavy periods are new to me since having a baby and I am really struggling. I am hoping to get some tips.

Anyway, I have just realised that our trip to Centre Parks will likely fall on my period in a few months time. I am honestly debating whether to cancel the trip as from experience my family spend all day every day at the pool.
But I want to man up and make it work for family's sake. Ideas? Help?

I tend to flood randomly 3 or 4 times. The flooding often goes through sanitary towel etc and through clothes. Basically when I have my period I am on constant high alert as to what sofa/chair/bed I might ruin :(

It makes me totally miserable to be honest.

I have been to a (quite unfriendly) GP twice and returned empty handed but happy to go again. The holiday is a couple of months away.

I was prescribed tranexamic acid when I was in hospital for an unrelated matter and a Dr saw how bad the bleeding was. I guess I could go back on it but it made my bleeding continual with no break which also wasn't great.

Before babies I was on microgynon, I don't plan on having more children so could go back but I felt very unstable for about 6 months when I came off it - deeply unhappy and I am normally quite chilled!

Thank you to anyone that answers.

I had some really helpful advice on here and am now in possession of a pack of notheristone for my holiday.

I am currently finishing my period. I will have one more at the end of September, then end of October and then again on my holiday which is the end of November.

Can I delay the October period rather than the November one and reset my cycle that way to be a week or so later? Or do the timings of the period after not adjust and it will start at the end of November anyway (I realise this isn't an exact science but let's pretend it is!)
