To visit the doctors? (TMI warning)

[SofaSurfer20]

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.

I have never posted before but feel concerned upon hearing your symptoms - I had a very serious ruptured Fallopian tube due to ectopic pregnancy which several doctors did not diagnose. The symptoms were severe pain across stomach area, very uncomfortable to sit down, very little external bleeding and just an overall feeling that something was very wrong . I would definitely call 111 or insist on GP today and mention there is a possibility or pregnancy. Be explicit and mention ectopic as they don't always think of it . Hope all ok.

sofa sounds like it might be a ruptured cyst if pain is on one side, it is pretty painful (when I had it the pain was up there with labour pain). Please got to A&E and ask for a scan to see what’s going on and to rule out an atopic pregnancy.

OP please either go to A+E or call 111 and see an OOH doctor this evening.

You really cannot delay this any longer OP. Hospital is the place to go.

Another vote for get seen tonight not tomorrow! It could be a ruptured ectopic which is life threatening. Or a ruptured cyst which can also be life threatening if it haemorrhages into your abdomen.

One test they did on me in hospital (I had a ruptured endometrioma cyst) was to ask me to sit up from lying flat without using the bed rails. I couldn't because my abs had hardened, I couldn't bend in the right place.

Much better to go to A&E today than risk needing to go over the weekend.

Another to say I really think you should phone 111 tonight OP.

Let them decide if you need a GP or A & E.

Don`t leave going to A & E until it is full of drunks, druggies my nursing friend told me especially in a university town. Always try and go at a reasonable hour.

The GP essentially can't do anything other than refer you to the hospital for ultrasounds etc. If you're in pain you need, at the absolute least, to be ringing 111 for advice, and preferably to be going to A&E.

Oh OP I’ve read your update and I’m outraged for you. I hope you get better soon!

Im calling 111 once Ive taken my DD to school

Good luck OP, let us know how you get on.

Well done. Keep us posted xx

Useless. Been told ive to go back to doctors to be refered for a scan. Ffs waste of time

Go to A and E

How’s the pain today OP? Do you have an appt with your GP today?

If you are still experiencing pain I would definitely go to get a private scan or A and E. It’s incredibly frustrating that they don’t take it more seriously . Hope you’re ok

I went to the hospital. They did exactly the same as the GP. Fucking waste of time.

I asked for help from family and other members called me useless, neurotic and Im being soft.

So fuck it.

Did you have a blood test? And keep that 2pm appointment at gps.

Weird

Just for info to inform your GP

www.ectopic.org.uk/patients/symptoms-and-diagnosis/

Ask to be referred to gynaecology. You're entitled to ask for a referral

Did they not give you a transvaginal ultrasound?
Did they do blood tests?

Where are you in the country?

I would say to the GP ‘so you’re comfortable that based on my ongoing pain that I do not have an ectopic pregnancy, ovarian torsion, infection or other life threatening or fertility threatening condition?’ and then ask her to put it on your notes.

A friend of mine some years ago had some very rough sex with a rather well endowed man and she had exactly this BUT for nowhere near as long; I think it lasted for a couple of days, maybe 3. In her case the GP said she'd had a "small trauma" and prescribed some strong painkillers.

Obviously I'm no doctor but it really sounds like you've done some worrying damage. Too much of a coincidence not to be the rough sex I think (in my non medical opinion). I would go back to the GP and be very forceful. Say that you are too scared to leave because you've never experienced this before and explain the impact.
