Any ideas what this could be?

I'm 29, have been on the desogestrel pill for over a year now (no periods at all) and am sexually active with my partner.

Last night, I was really really sick. I vomited everywhere and started to feel quite hot and cold. Woke up at about 5am drenched in sweat. Went back to sleep and woke up again at 9 and I was completely covered in blood.
Thinking it was just a period, I put a tampon in and forgot about it.

I soaked through the tampon (heaviest flow) in 20 minutes.

Went to the toilet to change it and passed two massive (size of a golf ball) clots, then suddenly got extreme pains in my stomach - radiating up my back to my shoulder. I'm honestly in the worst pain ever.

My heart is going really fast, I feel freezing but my body feels hot, I can't stop shaking.
I'm frightened, I don't know what's going on with me.

Tried to go the walk in centre, but you need an appointment and they've got none today.

My dad is here at the minute and he doesn't do fuss (especially when it comes to illness). My partner told my dad to take me to the hospital (as he's working) but my dad isn't having it and I don't feel well enough to drive myself.

Has anyone got any ideas about what this could be and whether I need the hospital or not? I don't know what to do.
Thank you

(I apologise if this doesn't make sense, I'm in a lot of pain.)

Op, could you have been pregnant? I think you need to go to hospital. If you’re father and husband won’t take you. Then either get a taxi or call an ambulance.

Go to A&E shoulder tip pain can be a sign of an ectopic pregnancy.

CheeryAlmond · 10/10/2020 13:13

Thank you for replying.

I don't think so. I've taken the pill non-stop, every day at the same time for over a year. I've not had any pregnancy symptoms apart from sickness though.

I just know I feel absolutely dreadful and the cramps have got me doubled over (almost like labour pain.)

Partner doesn't doesn't get home till 6 either. I just feel like crying.

Go to A&E shoulder tip pain can be a sign of an ectopic pregnancy.
Could that happen whilst on the pill?

Forgot to add, I'm soaking through tampons every 15-20 minutes still.

Call an ambulance if your DF won't take you. If this is an ectopic pregnancy, your life is in danger. If it isn't, they can rule it out.

Don't hang about.

Thisisnotnormal69 · 10/10/2020 13:15

Has your dad actually refused to take you when you’ve asked? Have you rung 111?

NewlyGranny · 10/10/2020 13:16

And yes, plenty of people get pregnant on the pill!

ViaTheMatterhorn · 10/10/2020 13:16

Yes, you need to go to A & E. None of us can diagnose you over the internet, you are losing blood and need to be seen urgently.

loutypips · 10/10/2020 13:17

Yes it can. Nothing is 100% fail proof. Even 99% reliable means one woman out of 100 will get pregnant.
Go to A&E.

moglovesquotes · 10/10/2020 13:21

A and E now!

AdventureCode · 10/10/2020 13:26

Tell your dad to take you!

CormoranStrike · 10/10/2020 13:28

Sorry OP I’m also thinking ectopic pregnancy and you need a medical opinion fast.

Kiki275 · 10/10/2020 13:32

Definitely get to A&E! If your dad won't take you, call an ambulance. Hope you're okay x

Lindy2 · 10/10/2020 13:38

That level of blood loss alone is too much, even without all your other symptoms.

Call 111 and I expect they will call you an ambulance. If you don't want an ambulance you need a friend, neighbour or a taxi to take you.

If your dad won't help and your DP isn't coming home from work, you need to sort this yourself and quickly.

I'm shocked at your dad and also your DP. He should be leaving work now to get you to hospital.

Franticbutterfly · 10/10/2020 13:50

Go now, people turn up at a&e for a hell of a lot less. GO!

MinnieJackson · 10/10/2020 13:53

Please get to A&E, taxi or ambulance Flowers

bearlyactive · 10/10/2020 14:06

Please call an ambulance if your dad refuses to take you, the fact that you are STILL bleeding is very worrying Flowers

ChelseaCat · 10/10/2020 14:09

Let us know how you are OP - hope you’re doing ok and have managed to get seen by someone medical Flowers

FatCatThinCat · 10/10/2020 14:11

The men in your life need to stop fucking about and get you to the hospital. Quickly.

CheeryAlmond · 10/10/2020 14:21

I've called an ambulance, purely because I would cover the taxi in blood and I'm really not feeling great (faint, dizzy, sick and in lots of pain.) Not sure how long it'll be.

My dad has gone out, he really doesn't do anything to do with illness.
Hates the idea of fuss when it comes to hospital and stuff. He isn't good with stuff like that.

Partner will be coming to the hospital as soon as he can.

Stinkyjellycat · 10/10/2020 14:27

Well done OP. Help will be with you soon. Just try to keep calm Flowers

Bettina500 · 10/10/2020 14:29

You've got a temperature which is a sign of infection somewhere and you're losing lots of blood.
I'm glad you've called an ambulance as you're clearly not well at all. Sorry no ones there for you either. Hope you are ok!

Bobbiepin · 10/10/2020 14:32

I'm glad you've called an ambulance. Shame on your dad for leaving you when you're losing such significant amounts of blood.

Put a pad on to show the docs the extent of blood loss.

user19990 · 10/10/2020 14:44

This sounds terrible. Hope your ok!
