There should be some sort of emergency doctor.. how far are you from a bigger town that would have a hospital?

[pretty-dolly.livejournal.com]

like half an hour. but i live with my boyfriend and we dont have a car.

Parents? Taxi?

You really don't want to take chances here, but I'll leave you alone to make your decision. :) Whatever you do, I wish you luck.

Dude. Go to the hospital emergency center. NOW.

How long has it been in?

[pretty-dolly.livejournal.com]

a couple of hours

If both you and your boyfriend have attempted to get it out and it hasn't worked, you really do need to go to the doctor. They see it all the time, so don't be embarassed. I hope you're using a pad right now instead of another tampon, too.

I agree with these other people in that you need to go to a different town and go to their ER, but to ease your mind right now....

A few years ago I guess I had forgotten I put a tampon in and put another one in. I figured that if one was in I wouldn't be able to stick another one in after it. It was in there for like a week. I was wondering why my period was lasting for so long. Eventually it just fell back down and I was able to pull it out. However I don't recommend this. Go to the doctor.

Cut your fingernails if they're not already short (long fingernails make me a little more cautious in the area, and therefore i wouldnt be able to dig around as much). Squat on your bathroom floor and reach. Squatting shortens your vagina, so you might be able to reach it. Try bearing down (like you're having a bowel movement) while squatting and fingering yourself. Perhaps also get your boyfriend to try to remove it as you squat - the different angle and longer fingers (if they're longer than yours) might help. If none of that helps, try having another orgasm (NOT from intercourse) to loosen up your vagina. The contractions from your uterus might also make you a bit bloodier (and therefore more lubed and easy for the tampon to slip down. speaking of which, if you're dry because the tampon up there is soaking things up, lube up)

If you can't get it out, seriously, blow the money on a taxi and go to the ER in the other town. Something like this is too dumb to get TSS over. Also, I understand that your hospital may close early, but i'm sure if you called around - even calling the area 911 or nonemergency police number - you could find a doctor on call. Try calling the hospital - maybe they have a 24 hour switchboard that can connect you to someone.

If all else fails, get yourself to the hospital at 6-7AM, or whenever it opens. Do not put it off any longer. If you start to feel feverish, chills, abdominal pain, nausea..get yourself to the nearest ER -no matter what-.

OK call me devil's advocate here but if it's only been a couple hours, you're not about to get TSS RIGHTTHISSECONDOMG.

I'd say try the serious bearing down and reaching thing. The more you relax the muscles in that area, the easier it will be to get out. Your vagina DOES end- your cervix keeps anything from getting "lost".

As she says, going to the ER should be your last resort. Try her suggestions first.

Sorry if I missed something, but have you asked your boyfriend to try and get it out for you? This happened to me once and that's what we did... He will have a better angle on things and should be able to reach up there...

Of course you've probably taken care of it one way or another by now, but you can use this for future reference!
