To call an ambulance

[TableDesk]

So back story, stage 4 endometriosis
Fun. Def not pg.

Day 9 of incredibly heavy period.
Worse within last 48hrs
Incredible worse within last 18 hrs.

Blood pouring out, like a constant trickle but passing huge clots, some size of my palm with 'contractions'.

Totally saturated pad within 20mins.
Saturated pad plus through period pants in 1hr while asleep.

Obs 5.30am

2x Tranexamic acid
BP 98/77
Temp 35.4 / too low to read
Oxygen 96
HB1 110

Feeling a bit (very) shakey, dizzy, sick and a bit breathless.

On my own with my DS, 20 miles from hospital, no 111 service, have called On Call Doctor but no return call yet - 45mins

Im just scared that im going to pass out & DS will have to deal with it.

YABU - wait for call back / GP opening

YANBU - 999

Thanks

Do call them. Or can someone drive you to A & E?

Ring them

Friend or family or neighbour?

Call now.

Please call them now, don't delay

Yep 999

Call them.

Call them

Call them now.

Call them and then call someone to be with your ds if he’s under 12.

Hope you feel better soon 💐

Call them now

How are you now OP?

Call 999 now.

Call the ambulance. Is there a neighbour ds can run to?
Just to warn you I called an ambulance for my mum a few weeks ago and we waited 4 hours for it - I've heard this a lot recently.

Call them. There was a thread on here a couple of years ago about an identical situation and I don’t want to scare you but you absolutely must ring 999 now. Don’t wait.

999!

They tell you to phone 999 if soaking through a maxi pad every hour when miscarrying, so I can't see how this would be any different. I'd call them

I have endometriosis and this sounds like a normal period for me for 4-5 days. Is this majorly outweigh your normal? Keep us updated, I hope everything is going ok.

*outwith your normal

DS is 12. Have called grandparents. On call doc has phoned back & said i urgently need to be seen but 2-3 hr wait on ambulance. He says not to leave it til my GP opens as... "well I don't want to scare you"

Thankyou for reassurance.

Have called grandparents back, they are bringing 2 cars, 1 for DS to get to achool etc and 1 to take me to a&e. Doc on call has reassured me that this is a genuine a&e and dont feel any guilt.

Will keep updated. Thanks again.

Ps periods / endo suck

Wishing you all the best, OP, you've been incredibly sensible. X

Good luck OP was going to say have some sweet tea. But glad help is on it's way

Hope you get seen and sorted soon x

You must be terrified and exhausted, hang in there.

Glad that help is on its way.
