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!

Wondering how you are today?

You poor thing, just read your updates from last night, do hope all is well with you today.

Hey OP, I hope you've received help and you're feeling better this morning.

Honestly, in this situation, I would tell it how it is, say I have come on unexpectedly, need a change of clothes and to clean myself up, and TELL them that I am going home.

Just go, then get back when ever you can, you will be three hours max.

I just noticed this is from yesterday morning!
Hope you got sorted with minimal fuss.

Wow, hope you are ok just caught up with what actually happened!

Hoping OP is at home tucked up in comfy bed with a kind friend/relative/partner adminstering tea and toast .

OP you've sounded very alone throughout this ,I do hope there is someone looking after you and adminstering TLC .Hopefully at home and not hospital.

Echoing what Gingeroots has said. Hope you're home and recovering op x

purplefizz. You should probably rtft. The OP went to hospital as the bleeding was so heavy and she was feeling dizzy.

Hope you're ok this morning!

Hope you feel better this morning

Octopus if you read all my posts you would see I noticed that shortly afterwards.
Because the time the original post was made yesterday, was around the same time as this morning when I read it, and it was in active, I just thought it was from this morning.

Hope you are ok op

purple its easy to do (I can be guilty of not rtft, though I know that's not what happened with you)

Hope you are ok OP??
I suffer from very heavy periods,with flooding etc. Tampax at useless. It has to be Lilets Ultra (very hard to get hold of though) and a towel. I have had tests done and there is nothing wrong,I've just inherited it from my Mum. Due to have a Mirena soon which in the past stopped my periods.
Best of luck.

Read this last night but didn't post then. OP I hope you're ok and getting the help you need.

Hope you're ok OP.

Oh no has there not been an update since she went to A&E?

Came back to see if OP managed to get to Boots

You poor poor thing. I hope you're ok

Hoping that OP is back at work and all was ok last night. But I'm slightly concerned as she sounded very alone and hasn't posted since going to A&E

I hope you're alright OP, been thinking about you all day

Hello! I'm ok! After a very very long night, the doctor is pretty sure I have fibroids. I will have to have a scan to confirm. I've been given pills to stop the bleeding.
I've taken the day off today and have been resting, didn't get home till gone 5 this morning!
Overwhelmed by the support from everyone.
As many guessed I was on my own throughout (DP is away for work, felt too guilty to ask anyone else to come with)
So Mumsnet was a great comfort throughout (even though I had terrible signal)
You're all lovely

So glad you're okay. Have been checking in all day to see if there was any news. Lots of rest and fluids!

So glad you're okay!

So relieved you're ok

Glad your ok
