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 you're ok, OP, sounds like you've had a long and unpleasant day. Glad you're at A&E, definitely the right place to be if you're losing that much blood.

Hope you're ok op, make sure they know what the problem is so they get you sorted asap.

You poor thing op. Wishing you all the best, and I hope you are being well looked after at a&e.

Jeez OP I hope you are ok

Do you have anyone with you OP? thinking of you

Hope you're ok too. Sounds like you're in the right place.

Oh I was seen by a nurse in a little room shortly after I got here and I told him everything and he took my BP (it's fine) and I've been sitting here since waiting to be seen properly. I feel so weak I really hope it's not much longer, I have a seat next to the toilets though

Fingers crossed it won't be too much longer for you. How are you feeling emotionally? It sounds like you've had quite a day

Hope you're seen very soon x

Can they not even put you on a trolley? Had the bleeding let up?

Chin up, chicken.

Not surprised you're feeling so drained after such a rapid escalation. You're safe and in exactly the right place now, so try not to worry (hard though that is).

for you x

You poor thing.
DD1 had exactly the same thing happen a couple of weekends ago. Ended up in A&E after 111 recommended she go there. After a negative pregnancy test she was given tranexamic acid and told by the A&E dr that 'sometimes your body just needs a clear out!' FFS!!
Went to GP 2 days later who took bloods (she was anaemic) and ordered an ultrasound which revealed a large fibroid.
She's now on regular tranexamic acid, Iron tablets and awaiting gynae referral.
Hope you get sorted soon

I had same thing 3 months after my baby was born. Thought it was a heavy period restarting. Turned out it was my placenta finally decided to fall out as it got stuck during labour.

Hope you're ok op. Make sure they know how much you're bleeding. I had really heavy periods pre baby and it's horrible to worry.

Oh, love, I am glad you've been seen now. Fingers crossed they can get to you properly really soon.

Just place marking to see how you get on! I really hope you get seen to soon and are feeling better!

I saw the start of this thread this morning and have just caught up. Take care of yourself.

Hope you're seen soon, OP. Tell them if you're feeling dizzier.

Good luck

Hope you're seen soon OP

Did you/they mention the tranexamic acid?

Good luck OP hope you're seen soon.

Hope you're ok op!

Hope all is ok OP

Fingers crossed for you
