To visit the doctors? (TMI warning)

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.

MIA it's the persistence of posting which is odd.

Frouby · 03/04/2019 18:02

Hope you are OK op Flowers

IHateUncleJamie · 03/04/2019 18:07

@SofaSurfer20 How are you? Flowers

BuggerOffAndGoodDayToYou · 03/04/2019 18:15

I hope OP is OK but doubt she’ll be back as she has probably been made to feel extremely uncomfortable (no pun intended) by Gisel’s posts (and mild obesssion).

DIZZYTIGGER87 · 03/04/2019 18:17

Hope you are ok OP... I suspect that your GP has sent you straight to hospital.

I also am amazed at how rough sex to some people seems to translate to forced/abusive. I have had similar experience which as a pp also said, turned out to be an ovarian cyst that burst. The second time I had similar pain I had not had sex and the doctor was examining me as the cyst burst.

LuckyLou7 · 03/04/2019 18:20

Any kind of pain is the body's way of saying something ain't right. This is nothing to do with rough sex and everything to do with getting a qualified medical assessment. I hope you are okay, OP.

smellygelly · 03/04/2019 18:32

Any update OP?

user1471546851 · 03/04/2019 18:33

Hope your okay opFlowers

MustShowDH · 03/04/2019 18:35

Quite up for some rough sex myself now - I wasn't, but Gisel has mentioned it so many times that it on my mind. Until I read this thread I thought it was something that most couples partook in when they fancied it!

OP I hope you are okay and getting the reassurance you need. Possibly something as simple as a UTI. bloody painful, but normally easy to fix.

SofaSurfer20 · 03/04/2019 18:37

Brief update

Im not reading all the replies as some are just twattish. Thank you to those actually being nice.

She did a pregnancy test on me, negative.

No sign of infection.

She felt my stomach, nothing obvious.

She said it could be me ovulating, the sex could have ruptured something.

Ive to take another pregnancy test in a weeks time.

Thats it.

So, I don't really know.

Bloody hell OP, that's a bit of a vague brush off. Hope you're feeling ok if not now, but very soon! Thanks

ItsLikeRainOnYourWeddingDay · 03/04/2019 18:49

Dis she do an internal or a speculum examination of your cervix?

TheBrainandPinky · 03/04/2019 18:50

the sex could have ruptured something

Wow!

What did it rupture did she say?

justasking111 · 03/04/2019 18:51

OK, but please OP if this continues go to A and E. My friends GPs will admit they do not know everything, sometimes you need to see someone at the hospital.

JaneEyre07 · 03/04/2019 18:53

Jesus OP that's appalling.

Do you have a local sexual health clinic you could try and attend? They tend to be far more experienced and helpful than a GP.

DanielRicciardosSmile · 03/04/2019 18:58

How are you now OP? Is the pain better, worse or the same? I'm a bit Hmm at the "oh you might have ruptured something, go away" which seems a bit like giving you the brush off tbh. If the pain is better and you feel comfortable waiting until tomorrow I would definitely second the recommendation of going to a sexual health clinic if there is one near you. If it's the same or worse then I'm afraid I would have to say A&E tonight.

happymum12345 · 03/04/2019 18:59

I hope you feel well soon. Rest as much as possible.

TheBrainandPinky · 03/04/2019 19:01

A&E? She has already seen a GP.

TheBrainandPinky · 03/04/2019 19:03

Do you have a local sexual health clinic you could try and attend?

You realise that they are clinics for testing for sexually transmitted diseases? Not clinics to diagnose the causes of pelvic pain.

needanappp · 03/04/2019 19:03

Glad you've been seen OP but agree with a PP that it was a very vague response!

Keep an eye on it and please do go to A&E if the pain and bleeding persist. If something has possibly ruptured surely they should be finding out what!

AllTheFunAndGames · 03/04/2019 19:08

She said it could be me ovulating, the sex could have ruptured something
Surely this should be investigated properly? Unexplained bleeding should be check out.

AllTheFunAndGames · 03/04/2019 19:08

*checked

DIZZYTIGGER87 · 03/04/2019 19:12

Ovulation can be hideously painful, However if you'could have ruptered something" to me that sounds like further checks should have been done.

Please if you get worse (or don't get better) consider calling 111 or seeing another GP for second opinion.

AnyFucker · 03/04/2019 19:18

Gisel sounds like she needs a right good shag herself

Pure misogyny

DrVonPatak · 03/04/2019 19:23

With pain AND bleeding she failed in care to send you home in pain to retest for pregnancy in a week. At the very minimum there should have been an ultrasound to make sure there's no ectopic pregnancy, which doesn't always show up on an average pregnancy test.

I find this type of "care" appaling. Just because she's a woman of childbearing age, it doesn't mean everything is either a pregnancy or not worthy of a doctor's attention! If a man shower up with abdominal pain and bleeding, I bet he'd be investigated until this was gotten to the bottom of it, not sent home to suffer for a week!
