period question

[Guest guest]

Have any of you gone through changes in your cycle after explanting? I

am always like clockwork and suddenly this month I am 6 days late. No,

I am not pregnant. I can't have any more kids. I don't know if it

would be from my physical activity or from my diet and supplement

changes, or what. Its just highly unusual and has me a little

concerned.

, supplement changes always caused changed in my cycles and

flow, and even certain foods.

This might sound strange, but have you ever considered cloth pads? I know

it sounds messy, but there are a lot of women who love them. Seems like

that'd be a great solution for someone who's sensitive to the chemicals.

(The chemical sensitivity isn't at all surprising, BTW. Makes perfect

sense.)

seems to stir me up and cause me a great deal of pain and itching, for

a good time before and after my period, anyone else have this problem?

==>Tampons are not good to use by anyone. You can buy better quality

pads at the health store.

hi janelle and all

yes, it irritates me too, i think its just too much warmth and

moistness! it aggravates external symptoms for me.

if you want to try cloth pads, there is a u.s. company called *glad

rags*. its a cool system, with a " pocket " in the crotch and inserts

you can add for heavier days. its a pain to have to wash and re-use

them (but very environmentally friendly!!). maybe they would be more

breathable than even the best unbleached organic fiber pads.

i used to have some glad rags years back. they are long since

disappeared during many moves. i'm sure the company is still in biz.

meanwhile, you can try washing & thoroughly drying affected area a

few times a day if possible, and rub on some coconut oil. epsom salt

baths also help.

i find no matter what sanitary pads i use (there is no way in the

I can only use Always maxis, all other brands cause too much

irritation. I also have a lot of itching around my period. It is not

the pad as it starts before the period. I had thought it was yeast,

but was told by a Dr. that it is actually from too much estrogen. It

goes away by itself without treatment after my period. He said that I

can't do anything unless I go on meds to regulate my hormones. Since

I haven't found an alternative treatment that works for me I just

suffer with it.

Dear Lou Ann,

thank you for your post! I have the very same symptoms as you (excess

itching before and during my poriod). I know that the candida affects

hormones also, so it would follow that at a time of the month when

hormones are fluctuating, one's syptoms would fluctuate as well. As I

have worked to heal my candida overgrowth, the itching around my

menses has also subsided somewhat. By that I mean, it is nowhere as

intense as it used to be. So, I think there is hope of getting rid of

it completely. At least I hope so! )

Thanks for sharing your experience, it makes sense and helps validate

what we're going through.
