I tried to spoiler my comment but couldn't work it outAbsolute fucking madness is all I can say to that. I’m so sorry you had to go through that.
I know Naga Munchetty was campaigning for a bit about pain relief for the coil, which is how I learnt that a lot of other people felt like I did (the opposite of what the doctor told me whilst it was happening) but I don’t know if anything came of it further. Women’s contraception is so fucked up.
Also sorry for derailing the thread with this chat and sorry to anyone affected by reading it!
My first ever smear hurt so much that I passed out. My mum told me after that I should have seen a nurse rather than a dr as they’re more gentleI read it as without! Yeah, it’s barbaric. I’ve never experienced anything like it before and never want to again.

Sorry, adding another reply to say going over by a little bit is fine. Just not a great idea to do over by more than 3 years as the GP was worried the strings would be brittle and at risk of breaking so went very slowly. Such fun. Coil 2 was technically removed a couple of months after the 5 year period was up due to appointment availability, and there was no such fears!
Eeeeeeek! My first smear was, thankfully, totally fine so I’ve never dreaded them but if it hadn’t have been an ok experience I really don’t know if I’d have gone back. I don’t think I could inject myself, which is a shame as I could do with jumping on the ozempic bandwagon as I’m hefty AFMy first ever smear hurt so much that I passed out. My mum told me after that I should have seen a nurse rather than a dr as they’re more gentleThat made me really scared for my second one… it took the nurse AGES to do because I was so tense (and they lost my results). The third time, it was at my new doctors and I barely felt it.
The coil and implant make me shudder. I now inject myself and that doesn’t bother me at all.
What in the what now?! So….. the automatic assumption is because you’re just a baby making factory rather than a woman and a mother that if, GOD FORBID, your kids were killed outright in an accident you’d just let out a small sigh and get right back to popping out babies? Holy shit.Again off topic but…..
I went to my gp to be sterilised after my husband bottled getting the snip
The gp gave me a real hard time about why I wanted to be sterilised and what would I do if my kids were all killed outright in an accident. I believe it’s because they can’t make any money off me by keeping on the pill, having the coil etc.
That’s exactly how the convo went, she said well you’re still quite young you could start again! I said I’ll tell you now if my kids were killed I definitely wouldn’t want to be ‘replacing’ them.Eeeeeeek!

Do they put these inappropriate questions to men seeking vasectomies I wonder?!?!Again off topic but…..

she did say, it would be better for your husband to have a vasectomy as it is easier to reverse if you change your minds!Do they put these inappropriate questions to men seeking vasectomies I wonder?!?!
Funny that their procedure is reversibleshe did say, it would be better for your husband to have a vasectomy as it is easier to reverse if you change your minds!
I think Ancecide is supposed to be similar. It's only 5% benzoyl peroxide though.Re the coil - my friends got lost...it was due out just as we went into lockdown. 3 years later she finally goes to have it out and they can't find it. Lots of tests later and it's somewhere completely different!
She had to have an operation to remove it.
I didn't have one in the end but after my daughter was born I felt the gp and contraceptive nurse were really pushy about me having the coil. I stood my ground though and said I'd rather go back on the pill
As it agrees with me.
I brought the revolution miracle cream which is meant to be a CT dupe but I didn't like it, its too fragrant and my skin just didn't get on with it.
Is there a UK equivalent for panoxyl face wash? I'm on medication that makes me sweat alot and I always smell like BO even though I shower every day, wear Deodorant and clean clothes. I've read panoxyl can help but it's only avaliable in the US or via iherb and I don't really wanna spent £5 delivery!
