Q: Positively Mortifying!

Okay, my period for the last couple months has been coming later than my usual 21 days, in fact it was coming at the normal 28 days. I was pretty sure my cycle was changing and I was really, really excited about it because it means less periods a year. So yesterday I'm out running errands in a long pink tee and white sweat material capris when I start thinking maybe my period is coming. So I tell myself not to be an fool, I've got another week. I run my errands and go home post haste, run to the bathroom and check (tmi, i know but this is crucial to the story). Since there is nothing there I couldn't possibly have started, right? And I mean nothing. I cook a really nice dinner and put feed Chu and put him to bed early since he didn't nap and i planned to have a nice, quiet, romantic evening with Miguel. We're drinking wine and eating stuffed mushrooms and I go upstairs to put on my pj's. I go to fold my pants to put them in the dirty clothes and they are covered in dried blood at the back. what? How is this even possible? Needless to say I was both pissed and mortified. How long was I walking around like that? How in the heck did it get all over my pants but not my underwear? Why in the heck did this happen to me at this age and not at like thirteen or something? Why in the world did no one say anything to me? And how many people in my neighborhood saw me like that? I am sooooo glad I'm moving soon. But the real stumper is how in the world did it get on my pants and nowhere else? There were absolutely no signs!!!!! I am super, super pissed.

that is strange, you checked your patns before putting them on correct? im lost at how that would happen and id be confused for ever wondering how that could possibly happen. maybe people were to embarrased to tell you then youd run around all day trying to hide it until you got home so they thought it best to not tell you. i dunno just an idea. any more bleeding since your fluke incident? id be baffled and confused lol. that sucks that you were out all day like that and no one said a thing to you, i personally would tell someone and if i had something to cover them up would offer it to them as well.

Oh my god I would be soooo p*ssed off! Maybe nobody said anything because nobody noticed? Hopefully. But that happened to me at school one time and there was a big red spot on my pants it was so humiliating!
I feel your pain. But wouldn't it figure that it happened on the day you wore your white pants, right?

the reason i never wear white pants, i own one pair and i am always afraid of something like that happening, i always wear a pantiliner just in case even if its not near that time of the month. but white pants 2 kids under 2 ive only wore em once here in germany but before they never even fit!

exactly! i would have told someone so they could go home and change or at least cover up or something. Rolling Eyes Those pants were fresh out of the laundry and the last time I wore them was about a week and a half ago. It's def my period because I started full blown this morning.

they just get to point and laugh at us lol. people should be nicer these days rather then let you run around looking like a complete fool with stained pants, but then again everyone knows your not bleeding to death or something and its just a period so maybe they thought why bother shes ok lol

that made me laugh, actually when you think about it like that, it's pretty darn funny. I must have looked a right fool! I was probably walking around thinking I was cute too because I love those pants so much, they're super comfy. Laughing

that's really weird... were you wearing a thong? i just can't see how that could have happened unless you were wearing a thong or something similar and maybe the really thin part slipped to the side when you were sitting? i don't wear thongs so i don't even know if that's possible, i'm just trying to figure this out!

Oh that sucks! A couple of years ago I was out with my mum & my sister & when we got home they kinda gave me strange looks when I got out of the car, but didn't say anything.. & then I went to the bathroom & realised my period had started unexpectedly & there was blood all over the back of my denim skirt Embarassed

I'm glad you can laugh about it now though!

Wow, that's strange.
Is it possible you sat on something? That's the only thing I can think of. Or perhaps as Bridget said, a thong?
