uncooperative girly bits

[lilamp]

my period was set to start around about tuesday, which would have been very convenient, since the bulk of my bleeding would be over by this weekend, when geoff and i will be going backpacking in the high sierras. however, it is now friday and i have yet to start bleeding, which means either i am pregnant or i will be bleeding heavily in the middle of the wilderness where i have to pack out all of my trash, neither of which possibilities are very pleasant to think about. are bears interested in bloody tampons? i do NOT want to have to put them in the bear container with our food! grumble.

edit: i finally started bleeding this afternoon. sigh.
