Thanks for your replies meo and kristy j, yeah I wouldnt be surprised if it is a bit of a mess in there, I had an infection afterwrds (cleared up with abs) also had an incident in the elevator (when it broke down and came to a very hard and painful for me, stop) when I was leaving the hospital!
and yes it can be usefull to know right when af is coming, mind u, I always forget and just start worrying that something else is going wrong!
