Leaving a tampon in too long with very light flow
I feel like such an idiot. Today is friday and I took a tampon out that I left in for 4 days. When I put it in I was going swimming. My menstral flow was very light almost non existant, but I wanted to be on the safe side. THe size tampon was junior the smallest that playtex makes. When I removed the tampon there was no blood on it.But it was soaked with Vaginal secretions. There was no bad odor. I am now worried that I will have toxic shock syndrome. I am in a panic. I am 41 and this has never happened to me before. I only use tampons in the summertime when I swim so that is probably why I forgot about it. Please answer as soon as possible.So far I have not had any symptoms of TSS.

Don't feel like an idiot! It is very common actually. It is a concern though. Here is a link to my forum that has everything you need to know about TSS. It is about the 16th subject down from the top.
It is mentioned in other topics along the way too.
You most likely would have had symptoms by now if you were going to. Just don't hesitate to seek medical help should they develop now.
