I dread my painful period every time it comes. So this time when it came, only 12-15 days after the end of my last period I was really annoyed. On top of that, my periods are usually about 5 days long with the 5th day being very light. Today will make one week for this period and it is still as heavy, probably heavier than the first day. The only good thing was that it has been a far less painful period than what I experience regularly. Usually I kill a half bottle of midol but this time I've taken just a couple tylenol. This has never happened to me! It is very irregular I am sexually active with my boyfriend and sometimes we go unprotected. I'm beginning to think maybe became pregnant and lost it.. or something. I dont know. Your the expert. What do you think is going on??
