Any ideas what this could be?

[CheeryAlmond]

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.)

Thinking of you. Hope you’re ok

So glad you made it to the hospital, hope you are starting to feel better and getting the treatment you need

Sending hugs OP xx

I hope you're ok op. Your dad's a twat but your partner shouldn't have left you either.

It sounds like an ectopic or an infection. I had a suspected infection a few years ago and the blood loss was similar with the huge clots.

Gosh really hope you're okay.

Gosh that sounds scary! Glad you got to the hospital and hope you are being well looked after. Men can be hopeless in these situations but your dad really should have taken you. Hopefully your partner get there after work to check on you.

Wow, just seen this thread, very glad you managed to get to the hospital. Hope you are doing ok!

Hope you're ok OP

How are you doing? Xxx

Thank you for all your lovely messages. I'm hooked up to quite strong drugs attempting to get my pain under control.
It's unbearable.

They're of the belief that it's a cyst and an infection (the bleeding and the pain are caused by two completely different things). I need to have an US tomorrow and they'll decide then what the next plan is (be it surgery or medical management.)

I hope to god it isn't surgery, the consultant who spoke to me said that, if it was, he'd try his best to preserve my fertility but that's not always possible.
Being told that was like a punch in the gut.

Oh so sorry @CheeryAlmond, that is totally crap. Fingers crossed everything is ok and your fertility preserved

Have you got someone there with you?

@CheeryAlmond I had a ruptured cyst and got an infection it was so terrible, you really have my sympathy
I had a laparoscopy as they thought I could have even had appendicitis,
When they opened me I was full of blood and puss
They did a wash out and anti biotics.

Take all the meds, incl laxatives and anti emetics xxx

@CheeryAlmond ps I got pregnant about 5 months later and had a perfect son who is now 15 months old xx

Hand hold for you Cheery.

Good job you went in Cheery! Hope they can get you sorted without any after effects.
Hope you've had an apology from your dad for not taking it seriously.

You poor thing Sending my very best wishes. Let us know how you go

Oh gosh, sending a handhold Cheery. We've all got you in our thoughts (I keep coming back to check this thread), you must be so anxious. Stay strong, deep breaths xxx

bloody hell OP, if a cyst has ruptured that would explain the agony. Friend had this and did lose the ovary but got pregnant easily a few years later.

Hopefully a huge wake up call for your DF!!

Oh what a shock for you @CheeryAlmond

Hope your partner can visit you and that your DF hangs his head in shame.

Hope all is ok op. I could slap your dad though for being so cold. That's just wrong

Sending you a handhold @CheeryAlmond. Is your partner allowed to be with you in hospital? Sorry to hear that you’re going through this. I hope your dad is ashamed of how he handled this situation.

I’m so sorry, @CheeryAlmond. I know once you’re in the hospital there’s the first wave of relief that at least you’re getting help but then once they start investigations into why you’re there, when it’s a painful mystery, it can be so scary. And I understand the doctor is trying to be honest with you, but of course, that’s going to be terrifying when he says something like that. But do try to take it in the spirit in which he meant it: he really does mean that he will literally do everything he can to preserve your fertility. And it may not even be an issue of that at all, though I know it’s so hard not to worry about it. Surgeons are often surgeons because they’re pretty brutal on themselves and try to be perfectionists.

If you’ve never had surgery, I know the thought can be terrifying but there are people here who have had a few or several (me included) and have all come through with flying colors.

Try to just focus on getting better. I know it’s so difficult with the pain. Look at whatever makes you happy on your phone, or ask DP to bring you whatever you use for distraction at home (if they’re not allowing visitors in your trust, they should still be allowing them to send things in, so a bag with your books or magazines or whatever you need). And yes... worry about having a word with your father after this. There will be plenty of time

Ah you poor thing, it sounds like absolute agony as well as the worry of not knowing what the next steps are yet. But it's great you are in safe hands and being looked after. Even if the news tomorrow is not what you hope for and you need surgery or maybe even an ovary removed then it is still perfectly possible to fall pg with one ovary (my sister can attest to that ) plus there are lots of great fertility treatments and help available if needed. The main thing is that you get better xxx
