To visit the doctors? (TMI warning)

333 replies

SofaSurfer20 · 03/04/2019 12:23

Let me take you through it and you decide if i should go to the doctors.

For what its worth we are trying for a baby and I am not due period till Sunday 14th April (i have period every 7ish weeks).

Sunday night my partner and I had sex, very rough but very good. Immediately after we finished i were sore inside and 2 hours later the pain increased so much i had to take pain killers.

Woke up Monday morning as usual, sore but nothing drastic. Took DD to school and started studying. Then shortly after my stomach started hurting so much I took 2 30/500mg Co-codamol and 1 250mg Naproxen tablet with a hot water bottle. Even so i was doubled over in pain. I started bleeding but only a small amount (I use a menstrual cup). I was topped up on pain medication all day.

Tuesday, I was in so much pain all day, doubled over even after pain killers. And a hot water bottle all day. Around 5:45pm I finally had some reprieve and got a call from work to go in for a couple hours. I agreed and went in. By the time i got there I was in agony again, my boss asked me 4 times if i was ok, then she sent me home less than 2 hours after I got there. I changed cup once in the morning and it only had a little in it. I changed it again at 2:50pm eith about 2tbsp full (just before picking up DD) and didn't change it again till this morning.

This morning there was about 1tbsp full. 17hours. Today I'm in agony again, taken pain killers and got a hot water bottle on as hot as I can stand it. Barely moved today.

This is not normal at all for me, i never have this much pain and the bleeding is very unusual for me. Usually day 1 and 2 get steadily heavier until day 3 where its very heavy then eases off day 4 and barely anything day 5.

If you've got this far please don't suggest A&E as no, Im not going up there.

AIBU to go to the doctors today? I feel like crap and in so much pain.

Of course you should go to the doctors!

MummBraTheEverLeaking · 03/04/2019 12:26

Get thee to the doctors!! You mention you are trying for a baby, how long for? Internal pain and bleeding could point unfortunately to an ectopic (it did for me) so you really need to be seen asap.

user1480880826 · 03/04/2019 12:29

Call 111 right now.

Marshmallow91 · 03/04/2019 12:31

Definitely docs!

sparepantsandtoothbrush · 03/04/2019 12:31

Why would you NOT go to the doctors with this? If you're in as much pain as you say then you need to be seen (ASAP)

needanappp · 03/04/2019 12:31

I would get an emergency appointment at GP. As others have said, if you're trying for a baby it could, God forbid, be the symptoms of an issue such as ectopic pregnancy. You need to be seen ASAP.

MrsPlesWearsAFez · 03/04/2019 12:31

You should see a doctor

Pinkcar21 · 03/04/2019 12:32

Call 111 and get advice on where is best to go. You might need a scan/blood test and they probably wouldn’t be able to do that at the average doctor’s surgery on short notice.

Right. Because if you don't get some proper real life advice by qualified verificable medical professionals on this I can assure you that A & E is where you will end up - voluntarily or otherwise - via the back of an ambulance.

NewSchoolNewName · 03/04/2019 12:33

Definitely go see a doctor.

ShitAtScarbble · 03/04/2019 12:34

Not verificable ffs. Verifiable

Haworthia · 03/04/2019 12:35

You should definitely get checked out and also talk to your partner. Having sex so rough you’re left bleeding and in agony for days means he needs to tone it down.

Hadalifeonce · 03/04/2019 12:39

Why on earth are you not intending to go to A&E?

AllTheFunAndGames · 03/04/2019 12:40

Could your period have come early or could you be pregnant and having a miscarriage? Rough sex can cause cystitis (which is very painful). Bleeding after sex is never good. Do a hpt and go to see your GP.

Imnotaslimjim · 03/04/2019 12:58

There is so many things that this can be. You need professional advice. Get an emergency GP appointment or go to A&E. Prolonged pain like this needs investigating.

Ive called and have an appointment for just after 4pm.

The pain is in middle, womb area, not my ovaries (if that makes a difference).

And I wont go up to A&E unless I utterly have to because I get very anxious due to previous experiences there.

Glad you have an appointment today.

Though I would wager that they are likely to want to rule out the possibility of an ectopic pregnancy so they may well send you to hospital anyway for an urgent ultrasound.

I took a test yesterday and I thought I saw a very faint line but I checked 25 mins later (had to cook tea and get DD sorted) and it just had the one line.

Just adding a "yep" to this. You're probably going to need a trip to hospital once the GP has seen you, so try and prepare for it if you can.

I really hope not.

I know its soft but Im getting my mum to come with me. DP is looking after DD and I don't want her worried about me

I agree you definitely need to see a medical professional. But also surely you shouldn't leave your cup inside without rinsing it for 17 hours, should you? I know you wouldn't with a tampon, certainly, I don't know if a cup is so much safer.

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 03/04/2019 13:21

Do you often have sex so rough it leaves you sore? Are you able to say no to your partner?

I'm glad you're seeing a doctor,hope its nothing sinister.
