Either she finds a way to work (take Midol, get BCPs, etc.) or you will rematch.

I only had two au pairs out of 10 call out sick days and those were for bad stomach flu and pneumonia.

I bet this one will claim not to be able to swim on her period either.

Pneumonia is easy because if it's bacterial it will respond to antibiotics, and for viral pneumonia and stomach flu--those resolve after a few days.  Chronicity is not involved and care is very straight forward.  You are dealing with something more complex. And do you know what, for anyone with fibroids who bleeds through heavy duty pads by the hour, swimming is not super easy when you are on your period. [/quote]

[b]Calm down PP and stop trolling.[/b] We have no idea the AP's issue.  We get it that some have bad periods and issues, but based on your article you posted, Endo only affects about 15-20% of the population. The other 80-85% might just have bad cramps or just not feeling like working. I don't feel like working when I have my period, but I suck it up and deal with it.

OP....have a sit down pronto and include LCC. Hash out why and a plan. (either work thru it, get help or rematch).

Not trolling---15-20% is a notable proportion. I  am pointing out the difference between an acute illness versus something more chronic and complex.  If facts are considered trolling, then I can't help you.

Please note that I also recommended rematching[/quote]
