i left my tampon in for almost 13 hours am i going to get tss?

Answer 1

No, you'll be fine if you're ok now. It's pretty rare and lots of women end up leaving them in "too long" without any problem.

Answer 2

If you don't have any symptoms by now, then you probably won't get it.

TSS symptoms: "Flulike symptoms, such as muscle aches and pain, stomach cramps, headache, or a sore throat. The flulike symptoms of TSS are common to many illnesses, but they develop much more quickly and are more severe than symptoms caused by a less serious illness.
Sudden fever over 102° (38.89°).
Vomiting and diarrhea.
Sunburnlike rash.
Signs of shock, including low blood pressure and rapid heartbeat, often with lightheadedness, fainting, nausea, vomiting, or restlessness and confusion.
Conjunctivitis (pinkeye).
Pain at the site of an infection (if a wound or injury to the skin is involved).
Involvement of more than one organ system, most commonly the lungs and kidneys.
Blood infection (sepsis) that affects the entire body.
Skin tissue death (necrosis), which occurs early in the syndrome.
Skin tissue shedding (desquamation), which occurs during recovery. "

Just make sure that you never do it again. Tampons are not supposed to be in for longer than 8 hours (whoever said 2 was completely wrong).

Answer 3

You can leave a tampon in for 6-8 hours not 2 like the above answer says.

You would of already started to feel sick by now I would imagine. Just don't do it again :)

Answer 4

No, you will not get toxic. Lots of women forget to change their tampon. Some have even left it in for days!! If you get a sudden fever, chills, shaking go to the MD. Very unlikely you will have any problems. We've all done it more than once.

Answer 5

You could. If you leave a tampon in long enough toxic gasses trap in there.

Answer 6

I think it is possible, since you are only suppossed to have it in for about 2 hours... but how long ago was it? if it was yesterday or something, i'm pretty sure that you would have felt sick already.
