Period Question...

[Galadriel]

Hey ladies!


I was wondering, is it normal when your period starts for it to be slow? I mean it is that time of the month for it to be here, and I noticed a small amount of some, and this was about 1-2pm, and now its about 9:30, and its done a little more (it is bright red) but its not going quite yet. Sometimes its just a little bit when I check, then it does more, but it hasn't "gotten going" yet. Is this normal?


ETA: I Don't know if this would affect it, but well I'm a bit constipated (sorry!). Would that make it go a bit slower? Edited by: Galadriel

Mine slows down like that towards the end of my period. It's probably normal.

That's how mine always starts.

Ok good, its just I get a bit freaked sometimes if I don't think its normal. It seems to be starting out a bit slower than it usually does.

Mine starts like that, than its heavy and than slow and than its gone thank god

Mine is always like that (in fact, I'm going through the same thing right now!) I also tend to get a bit constipated right before it starts and then have *d* after it starts--it has a lot to do with the hormone fluctuations in your body!

I started a little bit yesterday and was SO nauseated. I thought IT was going to happen. My lower back and legs were also aching. I felt yucky!

Yeah, mine always starts out slow, Galadriel - sometimes remains really light the whole way through (those are a blessing...no pain, no worrying!). I'm sure its all absolutely normal!

Thank you for the reassurance! Yeah now its erm, well on its way! Eeek!
