Toxic shock!?
Ladies I’m panicking, living the mum overtired life running around after a toddler, putting myself last etc.
I have found this morning and god knows how I haven’t realised, a tampon (light) still in me from I can only assume yesterday morning. I feel fine in myself apart from just so tired as per.
I’m now panicking about TSS. Am I right to take myself up to the hospital to been seen?? I’m so scared and feel like such an idiot.

Hello lovely, don’t panic. The amount of times I’ve pulled out two tampons 😱. I am in no way a medical professional but I’ve always been okay. I think if you start feeling unwell, absolutely get seen to asap. But don’t panic unduly. Xx
Only if you feel actually unwell. While it can be fatal, it's actually quite rare.
Dont worry you're fine xx
Thanks ladies, I ended up just going to get checked to make sure but all has been fine and I will never make that mistake again. Thank you all for your reassurance xx

I don’t think tss would be a risk after this amount of time but more so bv or a yeast infection. Obviously if you’re concerned go to the hospital but if well in yourself I’d either leave it, call 111 for a ooh appointment or wait until Monday for GP
