    My last cycle lingered longer, too

    But I had only 4 rounds!  About the diarrhea, I actually purchased and wore Depends because I had such a problem.  They honestly do not show, but I don't wear spandex, either.  I never actually had an occasion when I was out in them, but I felt pretty secure at least.  For, they were necessary.  Arghhh. . ..
