Any doctors about? Panicking

[Howldens]

I will try to keep this brief but backstory relevant. Would be so grateful for any words of wisdom.

I'm in New York for work. I am experiencing a heavy bleed (mid-cycle). Yesterday it was so bad that I was bleeding through sanitary wear and trousers every hour. today I woke in pain and heavy bleeding - a big clot plopped out in the shower - like two fingers width & length.
bleeding all day & more clots but not so massive.

im panicking bc about 10 yrs ago i had some retained matter after an abortion but I was on holiday in a developing country, experienced crazy heavy bleeding, passed out & got taken to a hospital, had my womb scraped under general anaesthetic and lots of antibiotics. I think I nearly died- but didn’t ever really get full picture.

because of that I am finding this really scary and triggering. I don’t know if I need to go to hospital - could there be another infection?

I messed up my HRT - oestrogen gel & progesterone tables and I’m currently taking the progesterone at night but should I stop as not sure I’m taking it right.

i went to urgent care this morning - temp & heart rate fine. They said there was nothing more they could do and next step in treatment is A&E for ultrasound & bloods if I wanted to seek further treatment. I’m not sure if i should go?

I feel very very far from home & im panicking.

I think I am fine now (not dizzy like before - can’t decide if I am pale or not) but my fear is I go downhill overnight like last time and I can’t help myself. Last time it was my husband who got me help when I collapsed I but I’m alone here.

I’m so pleased to hear it’s better this morning. I used to have very heavy periods and would get incredibly anxious, sometimes I had panic attacks, particularly if it was bad late at night and I was on my own. In the longer term it’s worth thinking about the Mirena coil - it has changed my life. Good luck with the laundry!

Does the hotel have a concierge service? If they do ask them to collect a bag from your room and send it out to an express laundry and deliver it back to you.

If they don’t perhaps you could arrange for a laundrette to collect from the hotel and return it. There are businesses in London which do this so I’d be surprised if there weren’t the same on big US cities if you google

Poor thing. Agree your work should have covered you. Def make sure you sort that out with them when you're back. Are any of your trousers quick drying? Can you hand-wash a pair in the sink and dry on the towel rail? Do you have any long tops/coat with you?
