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!

Glad you're ok and hopefully you can now get it sorted with a fibroid diagnosis,

Glad you are home.

So pleased to read you are ok, I've been thinking about you through the day and checking back regularly to see if there's been any update from you.

Glad you're ok. Rest up!

All the best OP 😊

Glad you're ok and getting it sorted

That's good news that it wasn't anything really bad or sinister.
What a relief, I've not seen a thread escalate quite so quickly into something quite so different in a long time!
Have a good rest today X

Glad you have found what was wrong and are on the path to getting it sorted :)

And that you're OK obviously! x

Good to hear OP. Hope you are resting up now x

Glad you are home and hope you can get things treated. Hopefully your DP will smother you with fuss when he gets back

Glad to hear you are home. Take it easy.

Glad you are ok and thank you for starting this thread, before this I didn't realise that very heavy flow was something to be cornered about.

Glad to see your update; I've been checking on here through today to see how you got on. Take care.

Rest, and glad you are getting it sorted

Glad you're ok OP

Take it easy op x

So glad to hear you've been/being treated OP!

Now there's another tread running on whether or not a woman should /should not go to A&E, on the face of it a heavy flow would not normally dictate that !

But each one has its own circumstances Hope your feeling relived anyway:)

hope you had a good night sleep last night and that you are feeling better today

justaboy but if you think of it as heavy blood loss, rather than heavy period flow, you can understand why the OP went to A & E.
For all we know, she may have been MC.
Any unexplainable blood loss needs checking out and if it's a large amount, not easily recognisible as normal for you, then A&E is fine.

Verbena37 Well i used this example as there was quite some debate on the 0ther thread on whether or not you ought to go and seek A&E help for what might appear simple problems and it in the other case does seem it was warranted like the blood loss case here.

It was also to illustrate that sometimes its a very difficult call to make to seek further attention or wait till the doctors surgery opens in the morning etc.

Works both ways. I have a GP friend who once told a young couple over the phone to wait till the morning then then take their child into the surgery. The child was in the early stages of meningitis and he missed it due it seem in part that English wasn't their native language . Seems by all accounts that any reasonable GP would have done the same thing but it seems it was one of those, "there but for the grace of god go I" situations:-(
