Had to take 25 mg of hydroxyzine for my anxiety, and 1,000 mg of acetaminophen + 800 mg ibuprofen just to tolerate the pain.
It was still painful enough to make me scream, but at least it was faster than the first time. She actually knew what she was doing, it seemed like, but I don't think she anticipated how much pain I'd be in.
Also! I think I might be allergic to benzocaine! The topical anaesthetic she used burned like hell.
If you didn't, you might want to mention that pain with the benzocaine to the doc. I don't have those "parts" but I can imagine some stranger opening up my uretha and jaming objects around in there isn't pleasant at all. Hope you recover quickly and give yourself some excuse for comfort food and a feel good movie to cozy with
when i got my last one removed i cried and the doctor laughed at me
Come here doc let me wreck around in there a bit and see if you're laughing then.
Glad you got it over with, and sorry it always hurts so much. Wishing you a speedy recovery comrade.
the way IUDs are handled feels like the standards of care and best practices were directly pulled from the 1950s without a single alteration
i'm sorry 💔
