Ok so about an hour ago i was sitting and I could feel blood coming out like my tampon was leaking or something, so i thought i needed to change it so i went into the bathroom.. and there was no tampon! I cant remember if i put one in or not! there were 3 in the garbage can, and if I put one in at 10 when i woke up, at 2 when i went somewhere and like one at 6 or something then that would be 3, but I cant beliebve i would take one out and just forget to put one back in. So i am totally stressing out. I was pushing really hard thinking it would come out but nothing, I cant feel anything in there when im pushing. Would i be able to feel it? I stuck a thing thats about like 4 inches long up into my vagina thinking i could feel it pushing it in more if it was in there, but i didnt feel anything.

I put another tampon it to see if i could feel it but i couldnt. I left that one in for about 15 minutes but i was so scared there was one up there somewhere i took it out. I looked online and it said to stick your finger and feel around but i cant get my finger in very far but i still cant feel it. I have no idea what to do and I am so scared! I dont want to tell my mom because I am embarresed, but like im not sure if there is one there or not. I mean i dont want to go to the doctors or anything and then there be nothing but i mean its night and i cant go to the doctors anyways, even though i think the doctors is like a little bit overboard.. but seriously has anyoen ever had this happen i am so freaking out!!!

If you stuck your finger in there and couldn't feel anything, then you probably do not have a tampon in. Also, where did the string go? Finally, you probably did just take it out and forgot to put a new one in. There's been a few times, where I went pee, and just pulled up my pants. I mean you do only have your period once a month, it's not that crazy of you to forget about it for a moment. I am sure you're fine. Quit freaking. And don't stick weird things in your vagina. You should be able to feel a tampon with your finger. Also, you could try getting a mirror and looking up there.

I can understand why you are scared. I have done the same thing, except that I just forgot about it (which is easier than it sounds). In nursing school, we learned that this happens quite often. After five days, the tampon might have broken down. If you have searched for it and can't find any other remnants, I wouldn't worry for now. Just keep any eye out for any abnormal vaginal discharge including old looking blood and anything with a fishy odor. If you have the discharge, weird odor, or continue itching, visit the doctor. Good luck!

ok, first don't freak out....do you feel the string? if not more than likely you just got busy and was in a hurry and forgot....usually a tampon only goes so far, the cervix usually stops it from getting any higher which would mean it would go in the uterus which is unusual....it has happened but normally it would have to be really forced in....like in the act of sex or something....my sister is a nurse and i asked her this and she said its very rare, in her over 20 yrs of nursing they only had one case and that was a middle aged woman who had forgot and had sex....the thing is some women actually use two tampons if their flow is heavy...i wouldn't suggest it though....i think though you are freaking out which i am sure you know is making it worse and your imagination is then getting pushed into overdrive...very, very rarily does anyone especially someone young like you every 'lose' one up inside. just behave as normal and if you find over the next few days you still panicked over it then you may want to say something...but a little word of comfort here i think every girl/woman ever to have used tampons thinks this has happened to them...i think you can rest assured if you pushed and didn't feel anything then there isn't anything there...good luck and don't worry, its fine

What goes in must come out!!! If for some freak of nature the string to your tampon fell off the tampon itself it will come out on its own in a few days, but chances are you just forgot to put one in there. It really is next to immposible for a tampon to get lost up there.

It could have happened. You should go to the doctor just to be safe. Do you remember hearing about the toxic shock scare? A friend of my Mom's left her tampon in for too long and she had to have a few of her fingers amputated.
Better safe than sorry

If this is serious and you have a partner then have them look for it. Losing is not really a good word, because if it is there you can find it it just maybe at a bad angle. If it is one of the really small ones that doesn't have an applicator they can be hard to retrieve. My sister had to go to the doctor get hers out. And she is a RN.
Leaving it in is not an option it can cause toxic shock, and you can die.
If this is a joke not really funny but hopefully it will help others to know the answer.

No. It's not possible for you to lose it. It gets up in there and forms to you so don't worry. Nobody found your tampon or anything.
You must have forgotten to put one in. I have done that, thinking of other things.

you can not physically lose a tampon in your vagina. however, if you did leave it in and can't find it, lay down on your bed and feel around if you don't feel any thing and think it's still in there.... then make an appointment tomorrow, doctor's won't think you're crazy.. they see stuff like this all the time.
