female only Question about that time of the month

[jatherley 126]

So I had to go in and get 2 liters of IV Fluid yesterday due to dehydration. And this morning I started spotting. So question, do you have to increase your fluid intake while on your cycle? I'm already having a hard time getting my fluids in. I don't want to have to go back in for more IV's.

Sorry I can't help. I haven't really had my "visitor" since my surgery June 10th. I had 2 days of spotting this month and last month, but nothing like a normal cycle.

Thanks though. I just don't want to ever feel like that again. I have never felt so bad in my life.

Extra fluids during the "visit" is a must for me. I can feel my skin get really dry and I become extremely thirsty. I don't have to bump it up more than 3-4 cups, but it means I'm sipping all day. That said....having some kind of loss after the visit is always guarenteed. :-)
