You've all been so helpful, telling me how initially painfully, then gloriously superb IUD's are: have all the sex you want, never worry about missing pills, possibly never even have another period. So, I'm gonna get me one.
(Yeah ... I can't get husband to go in for a vasectomy. So, as usual, we take matters into our own hands. Sigh.)
My appointment is for 4:15.
So. Exhale. Sigh. I guess I better be off. I'll update in explicit detail post op.
I'm nervous.
I hate the girl-junk-doctor.
I'd so much rather go see a dentist.
***UPDATE***
Dammit. Okay. So how pleasant is this: they put the IUD in when you're on your period. Because your lovely birth canal is open widest. And the hormone levels are optimal. I can not imagine how any man could ever decide that gynecology is the profession of choice?!
So that'll be about 3 weeks. (Why do you read my oh so TMI blog posts???!!)
Gah ... I really don't enjoy much about my gender.
I stopped taking birth control a week ago because I couldn't take the weekly migraines AND work with children. Plus I had made the decision to go with the IU frikken D.
So after my unproductive appointment (for which they still happily took my co-pay), I drove over to the store formerly known as Albertson's and made a purchase. For her pleasure (haha, as if).
And now I'll finish off this lovely tub of blue cheese and my Pepsi Max. And maybe I'll go running. And sit around and wait for my period. Which may never come. Because I stopped taking birth control.
Wow this cheese is tangy. MmmMmm.

Dear God! The first time I read this I thought it said IED (improvised explosive device). Gave me quite a jolt! I'm so glad I read it wrong!!!
good luck! its not that bad
I'm the opposite of you-I HATE HATE HATE the dentist! (And Brittney's right, it's not that bad and has great perks!)
Just buy some of those stick on heating pad things to help with the cramps. They only last a day or so. It's totally worth it!
It'll be FINE. Make him suffer just a little since HE won't man up. My guy won't man up either. Thank goodness we have infertility so it's not a big problem for us. I may have had to go through some expensive, stressful infertility treatments but at least the trade off is that I've never had to deal with bc. Ever.
It really isn't that bad, and at least for me it's been soooo worth it. And yes the heating pads are a great idea!
I think your doc might be crazy. I am getting one next week and I wont be on my period. I am breastfeeding. It's just not going to happen anytime soon.
My doc said to take some Ibuprofen 30 mins before. It will take the edge off the initial pain. I guess I will have to see.
And then I will let you know how it goes.
It's not so bad... the alternative bc measures you're using for the rest of the month are way worse, LOL. I love my Mirena (and the lack of periods it brings). Good luck! :-)
I totally forgot about that period thing! Damn! Never mind, just pull out the Saran Wrap for the next 3 weeks. Poor baby! I'm sorry you have to wait after all the build up. I've never used one, but many of my friends have and they swear by them. Good luck!
I got mine when I wasn't on my period and I haven't had any kids, and it was still fine. That seems weird. Definitely take a couple Ibuprofen before to help with the cramps.
