Has anybody ever died from a period?

There have only been two or three recorded cases of women with hemophilia. Their parents were first cousins, or something. (it would only work if the father were a hemophiliac and the mother a hemophiliac carrier-all the daughters of a hemophiliac will be carriers, but the sons will be free, as it’s carried on the x gene).

They died when they started to menstruate.

Hemophilia affects males.

That’s my new learnin’ for the day!

And yet another reason why I love this place.

Someone I know has had nearly continuous bleeding for over a year now. I don’t know the exact specifics, but she’s been on her period more than she’s been off. She quit taking the Pill, but whether that has anything to do with it I don’t know. The doctors were no help to her.

I think your periods are far more likely to make you wish you were dead than to kill you. Just another reason I wanna get spayed.
