i have a period question. i am 26 yrs old no kids. i got my period when i was 10 and it was bloody hell very very heavy periods and very painful. id had to change pads every half hour cuz that is how bloody my period is. at my age now, i noticed it is not as bloody like it used to be but still like medium/heavy or so.

every time i urinate, i see small blood clots from my period. sometimes they are light red and other times dark red clots. i was told by a previous gyno that it is nothing to worry about it that it is normal for women to get that during menstruation.

every time i got my pap smear (which i freak out) would come back normal. i did one time have a yeast infection long ago. i havent been to the gyno for 3 yrs going on 4 next year since my state insurance does not cover for women's wellness exams anymore maybe if ur over 40. i dont have money to go and still looking for work.

planned parenthood charges like $150 for a pap smear and still not covered with the state insurance. i found another nonprofit similar to planned parenthood they charge like over 200 bucks for the pap including the freakin lab exams!

also back in 09, my period did not come on for 3 months and was found to be not preggo. i need to know why it didnt happen. my period back then ended in oct 09 and didnt come back on until the last week of jan 2010.
