The_MoUsY_spell_checker answered Tuesday January 10 2006, 10:31 pm: Did you know that you can still swim even if you have your period and you don't HAVE to use a tampon either? Just make sure you get in the water as soon as you change into your swimming costume and that you change back into your normal clothes as soon as you get out of the water. The blood won't come out when you're in the water.

The exact same thing could've happened to me when I was a bridesmaid for my friend in the Dominican Republic!
One of my friends told me that my Doctor could prescribe me a drug to stop it!!!
In the UK it is called Norethisterone.
Norethisterone is a progestogen hormone tablet, which you take three times a day for three days before your period is due and then for duration of your holiday to delay the period. At the end of this time, the tablets are stopped and your period starts as normal!!
It doesn't do you any damage and there were no side effects (That I experienced, but everyone is different)- it even stopped my stomach from getting bloated!!
Have a great holiday and I hope you manage to get something sorted!

jamziix16 answered Tuesday January 10 2006, 10:03 pm: you should start to use tampons. don't worry - they don't hurt. they might a little bit after you start, but you get used to it. just make sure you do it right! you can't swim with a pad or a pantiliner, so unless you swim without any period protection, then you're kind of stuck. hope i helped :o) [ jamziix16's advice column | Ask jamziix16 A Question ]
