Omg ladies I've never been so embarrassed in all my life. Had my AF last Wednesday and finished on Sunday. ..I use tampons throughout.had sex with my hubby couple of times this week as ttc. Monday I started with brown discharge and wondered what it was. By Thursday / friday there was a really bad smell down below. So after I finished work lastnight at 9.30pm I went to ghe oncall doctor. And explained. They examined me. And seen that I had a tampon still in CRINGE. So had to go.to a n e to get it removed. Now on 2 lots of antibiotics 😢😢😢 all ok now. But.i can a sure u all I will not be using tampons again.
