Stupid heavy period. Dr?!

[IHopeYouStepOnALegoPiece]

I have pcos & endo. My periods generally come whenever they please, last 2-3 days, are horrifically heavy and then sod off again with perhaps a faint whiff of “I might come back again...no I won’t” a couple of weeks later.

Normally I have about an 10-13h window where I have to change a v heavy flow tampon every hour, lots of clots and flooding whenever I stand up, I constantly worry about what massacre I’lol see when I stand up...all lovely I have had advice from the doctors and am currently waiting to see a specialist. Although unpleasant, this kind of bleeding is normal for me

But I’ve currently been having a ridiculously heavy one for the last 3 days. I’ve used 53 super heavy flow tampons in 68 hours, I had to set an alarm every hour last night so I didn’t flood the bed...(I am exhausted ). If this continues into tomorrow, do I warrant getting an emergency Dr appointment?! I’m definitely not pregnant.

I can’t work out wether this is something I need to see someone about ASAP or bring up at my next appointment because v heavy bleeding isn’t unusual for me. Honestly my brain is completely broken!

Yes, I would ask for an appointment tomorrow. I think it's justified.

I think I would if I were you.That amount of blood loss must be exhausting too.

Flooding a pad or tampon every hour isn’t normal (even if it is normal for you, IYSWIM). Definitely see your GP.

Not normal and I imagine you are probably anaemic too.
I would get an appointment asap.

Yes get the appointment. That's not normal for anyone.

Thank you, I’ll ring them as soon as they open

My hospital runs an emergency gynae clinic. If yours does I would go there. Ours runs 24 hours a day and it's a sit and wait clinic.
