this is a bit personal, but i'm a little worried so any help is appreciated. as most of you know, i teach middle school and have been placed in an ESE classroom this school yr. the workload has been crazy since aug. long story short: i have everything from 16yr-old 7th (yes, 7th) graders, mixed with kids w/ autism, so i get home every day emotionally/physically exhausted/ not-a-happy-camper. plus, w/ the wedding approaching, things are really starting to pile up. i find myself working on something literally every min. of the day, even while i eat, whether it's stuffing invitations or answering parent's emails.well last week after a really really rough day (parent yelling at me first thing in morning, and then this to top off the day) i find i've been spotting when i use the RR. my period is still 2 wks away. i've read this is totally normal when first beginning your period, beginning or switching the pill, when preggers, etc. i am none of the above, very regular, probably since i've used the pill almost 7 years straight, this is the FIRST time this has happened to me. my first thought was, ok, it's just been a rough day. but, it continued through an entire wknd. is this normal? i haven't had my annual pap this yr (no health insurance) which adds to my worry. is it stress? has this ever happened to any of you ladies? thanks in advance =/
