Question: Hello, I am 19 years old and I started my period the evening of July 4th so later that night I got a huge headache. In the morning July 5th I did not feel well but it could have been from my period. I used a tampon that morning and didn't take it out after 10 or 11 hours because I fell asleep after work. When I woke up from my nap I took it out immediately. I later felt my face hot and flush with dizziness but didn't think much of it and took a painkiller. Sunday I woke up hot and flush with what I assumed now was a fever but never checked as well as a headache and more dizziness. Finally on Monday I went to the doctors but because I was on my period they couldn't do much. Except say because I am partially anemic my iron is low. I later had a fever of 104 and my parents called the doctor and prescribed me bacterial infection medication even though they do not know the problem. On Tuesday I have maintained my fevers by taking pills every 6 hours and took the amoxicillin twice for a day. My only complain is my slight sore throat, dry lips and itch palms. My question is, could I have Toxic Shock Syndrome? I have not had any vomiting or diarrhea nor rashes I have seen yet on my body. Should I tell my doctor of this option or go to the hospital?

Hi, on Monday the 24th of XXXXXXX I had sex and was worried the condom slipped so the next morning I took plan b My Way. This is the second time I took it since March 7th. There was no cramping or stmptoms until my period came 2days earlier than expected. It was heavy for two days and medium the third day the fourth day it was turning brown when I wiped till it turned red suddenly. Day 5 of period and still red. My follow up question is could plan b have given me an illness in addition to my fever and dizziness or is it the toxic shock symdrom?

Thank you for answering all my questions. So far since Tuesday I have had no fever, headache or dizziness. So I will assume I got better. I am still taking the pills prescribed to me. On another note I have stomach pains. I feel nausas and gassy.

My period is still going now but it is on brown whenever I wipe. I assume Plan B extended my period. I'm curious to when it'll end. I also want to know how soon I can take a pregnancy test because I read you can gave tubal pregnancy or still be pregnant after a period.
