Changing every half an hour

Having to change my tampon every half an hour or it leaks through, there are so many clots as well as the usual period blood.

Do I need to call the doctor tomorrow and ask their advice or shall I stick it out for a few days?

They're so much heavier and longer since my second jab, but never this volume. Last one was 12/13 days but maybe it's due to the jab and will settle down.

Any GPs / nurses etc your advice on whether I need to flag this to someone would be really welcome!

An neither a nurse or GP but I would flag this up with your GP as any changes from your "norm" re the menstrual cycle should be reported.

Definitely speak to GP/nurse.

Also add your side effects to the yellow card. Women's period related side effects don't seem to be being taken seriously enough IMO

Thank you both - waiting for a call back from the doctor and will make sure I fill in the yellow card too. It's madness how dismissed gynaecological issues are, grrr!
