See primary doc : You can wait as long as your symptoms dont get worse such as fever , frequency, abdominal pain or urinary burning.

Wait if feeling ok: If you are noticing a little blood on toilet paper check to see if the toilet bowl also looks red. This could be a urinary tract infection although they usually have pain. It could be a kidney stone although they also cause pain. If you are only loosing a tiny amount of blood then you can wait. If you feel dizzy or light headed or cannot work then you'll need immediate help. Drink fluids.
