- Make sure you're relaxed - if you're tense the vaginal canal will clench making removal difficult.

What is the illness from having a tampon in to long?
You might be thinking of Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS).
It is a myth that TSS comes as a result of leaving tampons too long - although leaving tampons too long is one factor that increases the risks of TSS, most cases of TSS occur within the first 2-3 hours of tampon use. TSS is always a risk with tampon use.
What is tampon-associated Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS)?
TSS occurs when naturally occuring bacteria multiply and start producing TSST-1 toxins, these toxins enter the bloodstream via tissue damage, if a person lacks TSST-1 antibodies TSST-2 toxins will overwhelm the immune system - TSS can be fatal is left untreated, or leave victims with serious long-term health conditions or disabilities.
Tampons account for 75% of all TSS cases as they provide bacteria with the perfect environment in which to multiply, while also preventing the vagina from cleaning itself and effecting vaginal pH so the vagina cannot fight-off harmful bacteria. Tampons also damage vaginal tissues so give TSST-1 toxins moredirect route into the bloodstream. Leaving tampons too long allows bacteria longer to multiply, thus higher risk.

Yes; you will get your period. You have a lot of the beginning signs of puberty, but don't rush it. You are only 12. You have the rest of your life to deal with your period one week out of the month, 12 months a year for many many years! Enjoy not having to worry about tampons, PMS symptoms, and worrying if your period will be on schedule for now. Just think, if you started your period at 12, by the time you are 18, if you add all the weeks you should have had a period in between those times you will have been on your period for a year straight! It is okay to want to feel that sense of accomplishment of womanhood, but don't rush it too soon!
