Anxious-period after depo
| Mon, 07-19-2004 - 9:26am |
Hey there,
As a few of you may have read I am anxious about having a period after 6 years on the depo. Since it has been so long I feel like I am just going to have it for the first time. Anyway I had a couple of questions may someone could help me with. First of all (and this may sound silly but I started thinking about it after reading an article) I usually use tampons and when I had a period I changed it every 4 hours. In the article the doctor spoKe about people who change it every hour. I didnt know if it because they have a heavy flow or what. My question is how do you know when to change it? Is it when you feel/see leakage or just a good rule of thumb is every 4 hours? Also I usually wear a thong and if I wanted to wear a pad (like at night) is there one that people have found work well. I dont want to have to get up in the middle of the night and change the tampon but also dont want to ruin any sheets/panties. Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Have a great Monday to all!
