V heavy period. Concern? Or aibu? TMI warning

[fattygettingthin]

Sorry for using aibu. I need some advice, I don't have a GP at the moment and I'm wondering if this can wait until I can register when we've moved?

My period is so heavy, I've got pain in my abdomen, thighs and shoulder. I'm definitely not pregnant as I did a test last week but so far today I've saturated a cheap reusable pad, to my clothes, had to buy new underwear and jeans and i bought 3 packs of normal pads. I've saturated 4 night time pads since 4pm today, I had to come home from our lovely night out early as I just felt so Unclean and in a lot of discomfort.

Iv had a bath and that usually stops the bleeding for a bit but it didn't this time and when I got in it looked like a massacre!

Aibu? Should I just ride it out and see if I can register with a GP ASAP or does this need something sooner than next period?

Thanks

Hope you are ok OP xx

Call 111 straight away and they will probably tell you to come to A&E
Hope you are ok

Delurking to say hope you're ok OP and really glad you took advice and are getting seen.

Sorrynits realised you already have. Gooduck!

Good luck op. You absolutely did the right thing making that call.

Glad you’re getting the right care, OP. xx

Good for you calling them. That's not normal. I hope you get sorted.
As for the neighbours, as long as you don't have your bits out on display, don't worry about it! You need to be seen.

Take care op xx

Don't be embarrassed op

You definately require medical attention.

Hope all is well.

Hope it's all okay OP

I have had this too OP which thankfully did just turn out to be a very heavy period. Always best to be checked out. All the very best to you.

Glad 111 are taking this seriously. I remember the previous thread. Good luck OP.

Good luck OP - this isn’t far off my normal but I have endometriosis and periods are a hellscape. If this isn’t normal for you then getting seen at A&E is absolutely necessary. I hope it’s nothing serious. If you’re in pain, the gas and air is wondrous x

Good luck OP. Also got taken in for suspected ectopic once (it wasn't thankfully) but was scary at the time. Hope everything is ok

Good luck OP.

I hope it’s just a heavy period and nothing else

Hope everything is OK op xx

My last period I was going through a super plus tampax and an always night time pad in one hour for three days. I had to set an alarm to wake up every hour at bedtime. I swapped to my mooncup and I was filling that in 45 mins. My period lasted 9 days.

I didn't know there were any reasons to call 111 etc, I knew I wasn't pregnant so there wasn't that worry.

Best of luck op x

Good luck OP x

Hope you’re okay OP x

Wishing you well OP

An ambulance is the right thing if they suspect an ectopic.

So glad they are treating it properly as you hear so many bad things about these systems. Good luck - hope it turns out to be okx

Glad ambulance is on its way. Good luck OP!

Better to be safe than sorry OP.

I know your test was negative but that's also a sign of an ectopic pregnancy which can sometimes give you a false positive/negative! Really hope you're on the mend soon x

Shoulder pain and heavy bleeding was my symptom of an ectopic pregnancy
