So I am 27 years old, 3 kids and my tubes tied for a good year now. I am having regular periods once a month, first few days heavy and then not too bad.

My period started yesterday, it went through my tampon and pad and onto my underwear, happened twice. It’s just embarrassing at this point in my life where I can’t go an hour without this happening.

I woke up this morning feeling like I got my sheets all types of messed up, if ya know what I mean. I didn’t, luckily. Butttt.... I got out of bed to get my youngest and bag blood all down my legs onto my feet getting all over the floor. I mean WTF! I can’t control this. And I had on underwear and pants! I was wearing a pad and a tampon!!! I am a confused 27 year old who has hundreds of periods before but I can’t keep doing this.

Is this normal? Am I just now getting normal periods or should I be concerned? Please let me know.
