Like now. My period is mostly over, but not totally. I don’t wear underwear so a panty-liner is out of the question, and there isn’t enough blood to warrant my Keeper. Mostly it is the typical stuff that usually comes out (which is annoying enough all by itself. Yick.) except that once in a while it’s got blood in it.
Whose brilliant idea was the female anatomy, anyway? Who said “hey, a thing that oozes slime constantly… that would be cool! And hey!! How about making it point down, so that there isn’t any real way to control it! Right on! Are you writing this down? I want a model on my desk by Friday!”

It’s even worse if you have my reaction to Depo, I have had a very light period for nearly 2 1/2-3 weeks now, every now and then blood will appear, then the next day it will just be normal, then it will be a little brownish…aarrgghh. It gets very annoying. I wish it would just leave already and come back in a few months.

Being a woman does suck sometimes. But there are those good things like…
Ever since I started the birth control pill, my period is normal for one day and the icky brownish stuff for five days. I’m much happier now that I’m on the pill, though. Before, I wished my period would just gush out of me all at one time–sit on the toilet for an hour or so and be done until next month. <Sigh> One could only hope.
Anyone else get those amazing globules of rubber-cement like discharge? I think this is cervical mucous indicating ovulation (not sure) but good lord!!! I wonder how this stuff got in me, and if there is some industrial application for it . . .
I think you are right. I get the same thing exactly two weeks into the cycle but it’s still anybody’s guess as to how long after that I’ll get my period.
Rysdad… I think most of us wish we were making this stuff up because then we wouldn’t actually be going through it.
The mucus you get with ovulation is wet and slimy but very stringy - you can stretch it way out. What I think of as rubber-cement discharge is just past that, when it starts to thicken up and get blobby.
I’m so happy that I no longer have to worry whether I’m ovulating or whether I’m pregnant or not pregnant.
