I heard it’s the number 1 free app in the app store right now, but haven’t bothered to confirm this.

IUD insertion and removal is the absolute worst pain I have ever experienced in my life. That said, I love my Mirena so much I want to marry her. I am on my second one and will keep getting them until I’m through menopause.
The first go around, I just took NSAIDs beforehand and it was fucking brutal. Literal worst pain ever, could barely drive myself home, was lying in the fetal position in bed for 16 hours afterward regretting my choices. Had minor cramping a few days afterward and it took about 6 weeks for my periods to disappear forever. 10/10, never going back. But damn that one day sucked.
The second time, I requested a sedative and my NP is not a monster so she happily Rx’d 2mg of Ativan. I also took 1mg of Dilaudid my sister had left over from a past surgery AND 500mg ibuprofen. I had a friend drive me this time. Even with the benzo/opioid/NSAID combo I still screamed and cried in pain during and for 5 minutes after the procedure.
I love love love my IUD but we should be offered IV sedation at minimum.
Thank you so much! You’ve all been very welcoming 🥰
OMG thank you!!! This is the ultimate compliment 🥹
Thank you, appreciate the solidarity 
It’s incredibly paternalistic! And these same women will (rightfully) shout “My body my choice” about abortion while failing to recognize that choosing to sell sex is also a body autonomy issue. I get to decide who I have sex with and what consent means to me for my own body. Other people do not get to weigh in on this!!!

You’re welcome. I empathize with the struggle.
I also saw your reply that you are pretty sedentary. I know everyone says this and it’s annoying but silly little walks for your mental health do help a bit. I recently started exercising again and am devastated to report that it does actually improve my mental health 😭 I know how hard it is when you can barely get out of bed, but if you can even make yourself just do some light stretching on a mat or go for a 10 minute walk, you might notice a bit of improvement in your symptoms. It’s okay if you can’t 🩷
Oh they love co-opting our language. A lot of anti-SW activists call themselves “abolitionists” which makes me wanna set things on fire.
It’s WAXY!
(I still fuck with it though)
It’s libbed up over there for sure, but membership has more than doubled in the past couple weeks so maybe there will be a shift or at least little enclaves of cool people, similar to Twitter.
