Crankin - Never heard of E-string before but am sure ready to try anything. So far last two rides have been uneventful, so that is encouraging. I will check on the E-string and see if the doc knows about that. Can you give me any more info about it. I gather it is Estrogen something or other. I agree, saddles should not cause bleeding. Saddles have been a challenge from the get go for me but this was really over the top!
