Ok.. Maybe this is tmi..
But I gotta ask.

My af is like, sooooo bad right now.
Its like, heavier than its ever been. .E.V.E.R.
I go thru a super plus tampon in like, 45 minutes and i've
ruined 3 pairs of undies that were really nice.
(almost ruined my favorite jeans.)

is this normal? I mean, is it common? I feel like im hemorrhaging lol.

They say if you fill up a pad in an hour or less, that's too much blood and you should go to the doctor.

When I was miscarrying, I was filling up a pad ever like 5-10 minutes and it turned out I had a really bad .Uterine .Infection.

Confused Sounds like a lot of blood though..I'd maybe get it checked out if it doesn't stop by tomorrow.

Haha .Sandra, before .I got pregnant, .I used to be the exact same way. Before .I'd head to work .I'd make sure I had a super plus in, and a night time pad on.I always felt like I was hemoraging (sp?) too lol.It pretty much sucks.

No, it isn't right.

If you need more than 1 pad or 1 super tampon per hour you should head straight to a doctor as this can result in significant blood loss,anaemia, fainting, or even shock.

Yeah this morning it got as bad as like, every 10 minutes a super tampon was making me leak everywhere.

I know tmi.

I had a pad on .A.N.D a super plus in and I still leaked everywhere and even had blood running down my legs after 20 minutes.

Im hoping it will slow down sometime this morning if not, to the .E.R I go.

i thought this might help...But I think it's been a little too long, so it probably won't apply.

I found this it made me feel a .L.O.T better lol

q. My first period after my pregnancy was really heavy and painful. Is something wrong?

A. "the golden rule is that the first period you have after childbirth is always weird," says Dr. Minkin. "the good news is they almost always get better from there." pain and heavy menstrual flow are also extremely common after giving birth, simply because your body isn't accustomed to ovulating and menstruating regularly, so your initial period may be tougher on your system.
