New Computer (and gross period question)

[Guest guest]

Hi everybody--

Well, my old computer finally gave up the ghost and a very generous friend

lent us the money for a new one. Hopefully, this is the last time you'll

ever hear me say, " Sorry, but my computer was down for a few days... "

I still have to catch up on mail, but I have a question. I'm just finishing

my second period since my surgery. My surgery was July 11, my first period

was August 13, and this last one started September 11, so regularity is not

the problem. I'm nervous because this period has been really clotty, and

sometimes brown. Have any of you experienced this? Should I be worried?

It's kind of a moot point since it's pretty much over now, but I'm

hyper-sensitive to every little thing going on down there.

I'm imagining crazy things: that the doctor didn't get it all, and what's

left of my tube is going to rupture again, or that I somehow got pregnant

again (yeah, right, we've had sex, like, twice), and now my left tube has an

ectopic that's going to rupture any second. I know I'm being really

paranoid, but it's the brown blood that's getting to me. With the first one,

I had ten days of spotty, brown blood that I totally ignored. With this last

one I didn't have any bleeding at all, but still.

Maybe it was just old blood from up around the surgery site, where the tube

was? What do you all think?
