Period problem at work! (I'm hiding in the toilet!)

[Arghhhhhred]

Not aibu, posting for traffic need urgent suggestions!

Just got to work i'm in the toilet, about to start soon.
Came on this morning, put a tampon in and stupidly only put one more in my bag and forgot my purse (because I'm an idiot!!)

Im usually not that heavy, but just got into the toilet looked down, blood everywhere bled through super tampon I literally put in an hour ago, bleed through onto pants (both sides!!) Tights and skirt are ok (for now!( and thankfully wearing black and sit on black chair!

I have about £2 in change, there's no shops that sell pants anyway around here but there's a little boots that will sell tampons (hopefully I have enough right?!!) What if I don't???! I don't have time to go now, lunch is at 1 so ill go then and put the tampon I have in now but if I'm bleeding like this already there's a good chance I will be a mess by then! any suggestions? tried to clean up pants with toilet paper but they're still wet!

Hope everything is ok 💐

Did they say how long until you expect to be seen OP?

Have you telephoned work and told them you won't be in tomorrow?

You know how you read a thread on MN and then read the update and think "holy crap"?

FWIW, you could have had ALL my fanny pads.

Hope they get you sorted and you're home soon.

Hope all is ok, poor you

Sounds awful, hope you're seen soon.

You poor lass. What a horrible day. I hope you get sorted and home soon.

I hope you get seen soon. Its essential you get checked out. Im sure there was someone else on her with a similar problem a few weeks back. They did sort her out eventually.

You poor thing, sounds dreadful!

My last one (first after giving birth and DS is 8 months old) was very heavy, soaking through a super plus every 30 minutes the first morning and I felt weak and awful (plus was in training at work and kept having to excuse myself). By day 2 it was back to normal and only lasted 4 days. You have my sympathy.

Oh god, you poor thing. Sounds awful. Hope it's nothing serious and they get you sorted out asap.

Hope you've been seen by now.

I hope you are seen asap, are you on your own? Will there be anyone to look after you once you get home?

Hope you're ok.
recepionist shouldn't be making you feel worse than you already do ffs.

Oh goodness, hope you're ok, OP.

Poor you, Op - sounds awful

Hope you're being seen and that you're as OK as you can be

Only just seen this topic. Marking my place because I want to know that OP is ok. Hope we have news from her soon. xxx

You poor thing OP I hope someone is with you and that you're lying down and being looked after

Hoping all is ok.

OP do you normally get dizzy or light headed when it's your TOM?
I'm so glad you listened to the advice to call 111, then to a&e.

What a day .

Thinking of you

💐

I made myself feel faint reading this thread. Laying down now!

Hope you're ok, op.

Do you have real life support OP? Hate to think of you alone. I hope you are being looked after

Hope everything is okay OP
