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.)

Sounds like an ectopic. Hope you're ok OP. Well done for getting to the hospital Flowers

Sexnotgender · 10/10/2020 17:42

So glad you’re at hospital now.

So glad you've made it to hospital and are now somewhere where people will take care of you.

Hope you’re okay OP sending love! That does sound like an ectopic pregnancy. My GP told me that taking the pill put us at slightly higher risk of them

BarbarAnna · 10/10/2020 18:01

Oh my goodness. Hope you are ok.

devildeepbluesea · 10/10/2020 18:03

Good God that sounds terrifying. I hope you're sorted very soon.

Then you should give your dad a rocket. Extraordinary behaviour.

RightYesButNo · 10/10/2020 18:04

OP, nothing much to add but if you see this, please know that you’re in the right place and the NHS staff will get you the help you need (which sounds like it may be a blood transfusion at this point).

Also, you when you’re feeling better, you or DH needs to have a talk with your father. You could have died because he “doesn’t do illness.” That’s not an acceptable excuse on his part, and I’m so upset for you.

Please focus on yourself and feeling better. Whatever else is happening, it will all still be there once you’re well Flowers

Justnotfeelingit · 10/10/2020 18:07

What the hell is wrong with your dad?! That is appalling behaviour.
I hope you’re okay OP.

MayYouLiveInInterestingTimes · 10/10/2020 18:07

Another one clocking in to wish you well and say your dad behaved like a total twit. You do not ignore someone with sudden and severe blood loss, even if that someone is female and it’s coming from between their legs. Why are men such idiots?

Wishing you well OP.
Hope your partners arrived.

OverTheRainbow88 · 10/10/2020 18:22

My dad is similar! I’m glad the ambulance has taken you into hospital, best place to be.

@Oneandzero not a wind up I can assure you.

I posted here because I was terrified and didn't know what to do.

Any ideas what this could be?

Thank you everyone else for your lovely messages.

I've been given some pain relief and a heavy duty maternity towel, with a pad underneath so at least I can be a bit comfortable for now.

I am still scared about what's happening to me. Haven't got the energy to think about dad at the minute but I'm really unhappy with his response. I'm used to it now, he's always been like it, but it's never been something this serious before.

Just trying to get comfortable for now, it's not easy and my mind is spinning something chronic.

Thank you everyone for being there for me.

Have you seen a Dr yet, Almond?

MayYouLiveInInterestingTimes · 10/10/2020 18:37

It sounded like you were into transfusion territory.

elephantoverthehill · 10/10/2020 18:41

You're in the right place now and try to relax Flowers

Itwasgoodwhileitlasted · 10/10/2020 18:41

You poor lamb. Hope they are taking good care of you in hospital Flowers

QuestionableMouse · 10/10/2020 18:42

Glad you're being looked after. Could maybe be a burst ovarian cyst? Keep chatting on here if it helps. 😊

snapple21 · 10/10/2020 18:43

Have the done a pregnancy test op? What are they thinking it is? Hope you're feeling better soon.

KatharinaRosalie · 10/10/2020 18:45

OP what about your partner though? I get that he's working, but unless he was literally in the middle of performing brain surgery, (unlikely, as working from home), I also can't understand why he didn't tell his work it's an emergency, when his partner was bleeding, shivering and with heart rate of 150.

Leimarel · 10/10/2020 18:45

I am so glad you are in hospital and being looked after.

Your dad sounds like the kind of person who prefers to pretend everything is okay than admit there is a big scary problem and he has to do something about it.

Get well soon. Flowers
