This is the anon who posted the other day about getting an IUD, so - some medical stuff ahead, but like, minimum details.
I got really worried about things like 'What if it gives me blood clots and I die', so I wrote down a list of questions and had my mum come in with me so I wouldn't be too anxious to ask them. The doctor answered my questions (yes there's a risk of blood clots but it's super tiny, no I probably can't get a hysterectomy damnit), and I agreed to go ahead with it. I also happily accepted the offer of laughing gas to take the edge off.
But they got started! Before! They gave me! The gas!
It really fucking hurt!
It was all over in a few minutes, and I was okay after, just a bit achey and crampy, but fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck that was unpleasant. I really hope I don't have to do that again for another five years!

(also, I have a psych appointment today that I've waited six months for, it's going to cost a fucking bomb and I really hope I get the result I want!)

I've never had an IUD but I've heard the insertion is not fun. In the future, don't be afraid to say "Hey, weren't you going to give me laughing gas first?" or whatever if you think a step has been skipped. At least it's over!

Sorry it hurt so much, nonny. I winced on your behalf because anything down there hurts for me. I can't do any of the typical gynecological exams because of it.

I really hope you don't have to do it again for a long while either. I also hope it works for you. And I hope your psych appointment goes well and you get everything you need out of it.

AYRT - Thanks! The psych appointment went pretty well, I now have prescriptions for my depression and my ADD, and even though I had to pay $380 at the end they gave it straight back to me because it fell under a specific government scheme.

That's great, nonny. I'm really, really glad. A good psychiatrist and good meds for your mental health are so important. And getting refunded what you paid is even better. Take care of yourself. You are worth it.

So stupid - people NEED PAIN RELIEF. It's a painful thing. Sorry you had to feel that!!

I'm glad you're doing better now, and boo to no hysterectomy.

It is frustrating that especially the pain of women gets minimized by, well, everyone really. Our pain is real and should be treated as such.

AYRT - they gave me the gas and it worked but there was still like a solid minute of AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA in there first, which sucked.
It is very annoying that I will probably never be able to get a hysterectomy because I'm never gonna have kids, which is like... I want it gone b/c I'm never gonna use it. But just in case I one day want to use it, they're not going to take it away. >:C
Also because I'm 29, but I feel like that's old enough to know my own mind on this.

Fuck's sake!!
And omg, 29??? That is plenty old enough. Good gods.

I dunno if you're in the states or not, but i do have a list of doctors who will do that surgery without stupid restrictions and questions. There's a list for every state.

I get the same story every time too and I'll be 37 this year. Though to be fair, I haven't asked since the last time I had surgery and that was about 8 years ago.

I use the nuvaring and luckily it's mostly controlled my dysmenorrhea and endometriosis symptoms so I haven't really worried about in a while.
