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!

Oh OP fingers crossed for you! Hope it all gets sorted quickly 💐

Yes, and that poster nearly died. Not trying to frighten you, OP. But you really need to to the the A&E right now!

Hope you're ok OP. I remember the thread from a month or two ago about extremely heavy flow which turned out to be sepsis. As PP's have said, I never knew that that level of flow was an emergency.

Glad you've gone to A&E. Hope you are being looked after!

Hope it gets sorted. I'm also glad that your boss was able to help you and that you felt able to ask them too.

Eeek good luck in a &e!

Good luck op. Hope you get seen soon and all is better.

Hope you are okay OP.

Good luck OP hope A&E helps.

Good luck op

Whoa, glad you're going to A&E! I hope everything turns out okay.

Hope you are ok and get on ok at a&e. Take care x

Hope you get sorted out!

Every 20 mins?! I'd be passed out by now! Poor you.

Oh blimey, hope you're ok. Sounds awful, every 20 minutes!

Good luck OP

Hope all is ok OP.

Hope you are ok. Sounds really awful. My periods are heavy tend to soak thru Super Plus Extra in 2hrs. I started yesterday & have found the tip about using Ibuprofen useful. Didn't realise it could lessen flow & I think the pain relief is better too. Hope you are soon back from A&E.

Let us know how you get on.

Best of luck op. I'm hoping it's nothing.

Good luck

Hope you're ok OP. That does sound like a very heavy flow. Thinking of you and hope they get you sorted out x

Hope everything is ok x

Good luck op. Hope you get sorted soon x

Oh bugger. OP, I hope everything is ok

Bloody hell that escalated quickly... Best of luck at A&E op, hope it's nothing too horrific. I reckon you can probably take tomorrow off sick with a clear conscience.
