Erm...Any ideas?

I'm mortified to be writing this, but I don't know where else to ask.

I'm on the pill. I have been for years. I use it to completely stop periods, due to other health problems. It has worked fine for years, no breakthrough bleeding. My periods, when I do have them, are mild. No cramps, I don't get PMT.

Today I am bleeding. Bright red blood. It seemed to start when I woke up, and is now gushing. In the minute between getting out of the shower and being able to get dressed, it covered the insides of my legs.

I've got stomach cramps in bizarre waves, they seem so regular you could use them as a clock.

I've been really, really emotional for the past two weeks, too, but I don't know if that's related. And very bloated.

I don't know what this is. I haven't missed a pill or anything. I did get rather dehydrated yesterday but I've never heard of that causing anything like this?!

I don't think I've ever seen so much blood in my life. It's so red and clotty and it looks like proper blood...like I'm bleeding out an organ or something.

I'm scared

Can you get to a and e?

magimedi · 08/07/2013 11:12

With great respect - get off the internet & call a doctor or get to a hospital.

Please - & let us know how you are later on.

Wishfulmakeupping · 08/07/2013 11:14

Please go to doctors now

fuzzpig · 08/07/2013 11:15

Could you be pregnant, if the pill hasn't worked properly :(

I agree to go to a&e now though.

Thinking of you

CajaDeLaMemoria · 08/07/2013 11:16

I'm waiting for 101 to call me back. They weren't sure where to send me. The nearest A&E is a 50 minute drive away and I don't know if I'll make it.

I just wondered if anyone knew what it could be. I don't think I can cope with anymore bombshells, so some idea of what they might say would be nice. Although unlikely, I suppose!

I could try and get someone to drive me there I guess?

wannabeawallaby · 08/07/2013 11:18

Yes, do. A&E and get on with it!

magimedi · 08/07/2013 11:19

Pregnancy & miscarriage (sorry to say) sounds likely to me - but no one can diagnose you over the internet.

I would get someone to drive you to A&E asap - hope you get some help soon.

Josie1974 · 08/07/2013 11:22

Miscarriage? Are you passing clots? I think I'd call an ambulance if you're that far from hospital and losing a lot of blood. Or even yr gp might make an emergency visit?

eurozammo · 08/07/2013 11:22

It does sound like a possible mc to me. If it is and the bleeding is as heavy as you describe, you really should get to A&E.

DearPrudence · 08/07/2013 11:31

Hope you're on your way to A&E.

CajaDeLaMemoria · 08/07/2013 11:34

Oh god.

I'll call an ambulance now.

Good luck Caja x

magimedi · 08/07/2013 11:50

Thinking of you - hope all is OK.

MustafaCake · 08/07/2013 11:53

Hope you are in that ambulance and OK.

Hawkmoth · 08/07/2013 12:51

Hope all works out ok.

CajaDeLaMemoria · 08/07/2013 14:57

I am sat in a small room.

Both doctors have disappeared.

I don't think they believe I'm in my 20s. They keep trying to call my parents.

Do I tell DP?

OP posts:

MeeWhoo · 08/07/2013 15:17

Good to hear you are being examined. I think you should tell DP, it's always good to have the moral support.

TeamSouthfields · 08/07/2013 15:28

Sounds like a miscarriage

Ofcourse tell ur partner, why wouldnt u?

wannabeawallaby · 08/07/2013 16:08

Of COURSE you tell DP - ring him immediately. Can't believe he isn't there with you. Please ring him.

DearPrudence · 08/07/2013 16:53

If your DP had started bleeding heavily and gone to hospital would you expect him to tell you? Of course you would.

Glad you're being seen, and thanks for the update.

malteserzz · 08/07/2013 17:01

I hope by now you've told DP and are being seen, let us know how you get on and best of luck

DearPrudence · 08/07/2013 21:15

How are you doing now? Hope everything's OK.

Hope you're okay OP.

How are you caja?

CajaDeLaMemoria · 09/07/2013 11:40

I sat in a room in EPU for a long time yesterday being poked and prodded. They let me home early this morning because the bleeding had stopped.

The doctors didn't talk to me much. Initially they thought I was underage, and then I think they didn't want me to get upset. They have made me an urgent appointment with the crisis team.

The pharmacist gave me a hug and told me to carry on like normal, and treat it like a period. I've just done my usual run but it hurts so much. I'm so bloated, and it feels like my organs are all going to fall out.

I feel so sick, too.

I'm numb, I think.
