I had some really weird cramps at the end of my last period and I was convinced something like this was happening (it wasn't). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-tampons#post-513726 Fri, 18 Jan 2013 15:40:17 +0000 BananaPancakes 513726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I almost did this last month. I've never come close to forgetting before, but I just can't remember anything since having a kid. I took a shower, went to bed, then got up to pee in the middle of the night and saw the string. I never go to bed with a tampon, so it totally freaked me out that it had been in since that morning and I had completely forgotten about it. I almost could't get myself to use them this month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-tampons#post-513707 Fri, 18 Jan 2013 15:35:30 +0000 polkadots 513707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@luckypenny: I went to the dr to get checked once... I'm such a worrier! I'm glad I went in just for peace of mind, especially after I read horror stories online! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-tampons#post-513666 Fri, 18 Jan 2013 15:22:12 +0000 meredithNYC 513666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNYC: I have done this.

She forgot there was one there and so put another one up and it lodged really high. She finally went to the doctor with really bad cramps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-tampons#post-513633 Fri, 18 Jan 2013 15:13:26 +0000 .twist. 513633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>lol.
