Ok, so my period started yesterday. I was bleeding loads and in absolute agony, to the extent that I was crying and retching with the pain. (I always have v heavy and painful periods but this was much, much worse. It has happened before- I was sent home from work and went to the doctor, who said that my uterus was contracting so much that it was twisting, and that was why it hurt so much.)
I am on my way to work now, wearing 2 night time pads. I can already feel that I will need to change these as soon as I get to work. I am in pain despite the fact that I have taken v strong painkillers. I feel like crying and am constantly worried that I will bleed through my clothes.
Aibu to think that I would be justified in taking time off work? I am a teacher btw so would not be able to go to the toilet at will.
