cry of agony, TMI



I WANT MY BIRTH CONTROL BACK RIGHT THE FUCK NOW.

SERIOUSLY, BODY, THIS IS GOD-FUCKING-DAMN RIDICULOUS.

THIS IS MY SECOND-TO-LAST DAY OF VACATION. FUCKING STOP IT I HATE YOU.

*cries*

I need chocolate, the world's largest hot water bottle, an overdose of Motrin, John Sheppard to rub my back (I don't care that he'd be horrified), and Castiel to soothe my troubled brow right this instant.

Just to clarify a (little, tiny) point: My IUD required no surgery--it's an outpatient thing my regular OB-GYN was able to do, no more complicated than your average lady-bits exam.

*hugs for all*

For me, having never had a kid, it would have required dilating my cervix? My OB-GYN classifies that as surgery, though I'm sure some don't. Whereas my implant thing (Implanon) required a topical numbing and an injection, took all of 15 minutes. I know IUDs are easier when you've had kids, and they really dissuade you from getting one if you haven't had kids.

*hearts her Implanon*

Ah, see, I did not know this! Very interesting, and thank you.

Heh, you're welcome. I had a big freakout over birth control this past summer and did gobs of research on it. And let me tell you, my gyno's explanation of the cervix dilating process has made me seriously ponder whether I want to have kids at all. THANKS DR. HURRY. HA HA NO I GET IT WILL SUCK OK. THANKS FOR REITERATING.

I have heard this too! And hearing other women talk about persuading their doctors into an IUD when they hadn't had kids yet... Ow. Ow.

But the implant, on the other hand, sounds promising! Pills aren't a huge problem for me, because I take other things every day anyway, but it'd be nice to cross one more thing off my ABSOLUTELY MUST BE DONE BEFORE YOU LEAVE THE HOUSE list. Maybe I will start saving up, so I don't have to wait for work insurance a couple years down the road. *crosses fingers that there will be work insurance*
