I love when nature changes clothes, the weather is warm, the trees are colourful, and everything is just so beautiful. Hi, my name is Jo, a mother of five, aged from kindergarten to school. You can imagine how much time I (don&#8217;t) have to myself. This is why I appreciate a &#8216;day off&#8217; more than the best cake in the world.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Last month, my husband decided\u00a0to take care of all five and send me to pick my birthday present. A month ago, I started a weight loss program and have since lost 7 kilos. With the extra confidence, I was looking forward to a nice nature walk followed by a spending spree at a nearby shopping centre.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>I put on lipstick, did my hair, and even decided to wear a dress because it was\u00a0the last day of my period. I removed my pad\u00a0to have a better silhouette. Yes, it was risky, but I was in such a good mood that I couldn&#8217;t imagine something dampening it. (Watch what you think, they say. I know now!)<br \/>I felt so good I even\u00a0decided to go by bike instead of tramming it. Spending that free time outside was amazingly relaxing&#8230; perfect for daydreaming.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Just before arriving at the mall, I stopped at a traffic light at a huge intersection. I dropped my foot on the sidewalk and at that same moment, I suddenly felt something between my legs, like when my water broke before labour.\u00a0 I was horrified, shocked. I thought I was\u00a0urinating uncontrollably! I froze and continued to push my bike across the road.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>While I was walking, I touched the dress secretly. It was completely wet. &#8216;Oh My God, what happened to me?!&#8217;, I freaked out.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>In the parking lot of the centre, I tied my bicycle and in a bent position realized that a thin stream of blood was pouring down my legs. WHAT IS THIS?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><br \/>In the shopping centre, I dodged people while running\u00a0towards the toilet. &#8216;I hope no one sees me, I thought. And in the toilet, yet another shock. For the first time in my life, on the last day of my period, a huge blood clot fell out of me. I was all dirty,\u00a0covered with blood.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><br \/>I wiped my feet with toilet paper, made a paper pad, and covered\u00a0myself from embarrassment. The dress was wet, but fortunately black, so it wasn&#8217;t visible. Horrified and shocked, I headed back to the exit, got on my bike and peddled home as fast as I could. My perfect shopping would have been better if I hadn\u2019t taken out the pad, or if I had a menstrual cup. I didn&#8217;t even get to pick out a gift.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><br \/>I still stress out imagining the blood clot falling out of me in front of everyone. Hopefully, it doesn&#8217;t become viral.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Comment our period stories in the section below the article, the most creative comments will be rewarded!<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>#DOwnWithTheiCK<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.intimina.com\/lily-cup-one?utm_source=article+&amp;utm_medium=banner-bike&amp;utm_campaign=downwiththeick\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"450\" class=\"wp-image-20393\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intimina.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Artboard-1-100-1.jpg\" alt=\"banner \" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intimina.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Artboard-1-100-1.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.intimina.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Artboard-1-100-1-273x273.jpg 273w, https:\/\/www.intimina.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Artboard-1-100-1-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Read all your stories:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Story One: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.intimina.com\/blog\/your-period-horror-stories-hanging-out-at-the-beach-literally\/\">Hanging Out At The Beach\u2013Literally!<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Story Two: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.intimina.com\/blog\/your-period-horror-stories-my-kimono-was-drenched-in-blood\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u2018My Kimono Was Drenched In Blood<\/a><\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>October is my birthday month.
