Thank u soooo much!! Would you say that after about four months with really no noticeable signs it's safe to say there most likely isn't because something would've happened by now?
Hi,
There's a chance that you may have pulled it out while you were drunk and forgot about it (it happens). Usually when a tampon has been inside for too long you would notice pressure (fullness) from inside your vagina from the swollen tampon, a foul odor, itchiness, and abnormal discharge within a few days. Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) includes: headache, fever, dizziness/fainting, foul vaginal odor, nausea/vomiting, and muscle aches. TSS is a potentially fatal bacterial infection; that's why you shouldn't leave tampons in for too many hours because of the risk ~ not a good idea to take the chance of infection. October was a few months back, I think you would've noticed signs of TSS awhile ago ( usually noticeable signs within a week). Also, you probably would've been able to locate the tampon with your fingers soon after you remembered it. You could always make an appointment for a pelvic exam w/ your doctor just to make sure all is well. Take Care
