“…my period lasted for 30 days and it was heavy and it was horrible. I was wearing pads like the size that you get in the hospital after you have a baby and I was so used to that happening at that time… I didn’t call anybody because you know it was like this is normal.”1

“…this is what you go through
as a woman… and it was like every month you are going to bleed half to death and then the rest of the time you are almost okay.
I just went with that…you know it didn’t kill me so I would just be stronger.”2
