Thank you all so much for your kind words and support, I'm only young and there's plenty opportunity to try again but I've become so attached already it'd be a terrible shame.
I'm going to the doctors tomorrow, the cramping has subsided. Sorry, I didn't mean tampons, I did mean sanitary towels! I wouldn't dream of using tampons. Anyway, yes, I do have a lovely boyfriend who's been great about everything, so I'm not alone.
Thank you all, will update when I know x
