Paraguard the check up

30 days after the insertion of my IUD. I called to schedule the checkup. And I'm going to be honest I thought somehow someway one had gotten by and I was pregnant. I didn't have period in 30 days and I was literally peeing every 30 minutes. Can you imagine the terror? I got to the office and they got me back quickly. After a short visit at the scale of death I went into a normal room . The nurse asked me a couple questions and she said okay I need you to go down the hall to the left . I did as I was told but to the left was a dark room and no one was in here and to the right was the 1970s scary operating room.  As I was walking back up to the room a lady came darting out of the nurse station and said hey I'm Kacey are you Alisa? I said yes. She said okay lets go back here and find this baby. ( EXCUSE ME) Oh no that the point of getting this thing there shouldn't be a baby there at all. Then she laughed. I'm thinking do you know something about my uterus that I don't ?

So I get back there and she tells me to pull my shirt up and my skirt and underwear down. The table was madd uncomfortable. She turns the light back off and rubs this clear gel on me. I'm watching the screen to make sure nothing is moving . I've watched enough TV to know what a heartbeat on a sonogram is . Or so I thought. Then Mrs. Nancy comes back there . She is usually in the window and gets my insurance information. No idea why she's back there but she says THERES THAT BABY. I'm like noooo are you kidding me? Kacey says no that's your right ovary. I let out a serious exhale. Mrs. Nancy laughs and pats me on the shoulder and walks out the room.

So after the 20 minutes of playing around on the sonogram she tells me to take my picture and take it back to the room. I didn't even have time to get a picture of it before Dr. Armstrong came in. he got the picture and taped it to my file. He told me everything looks good. The string that is suppose to hang down is in the wrong position but everything about the IUD looks good. He asked if I've had any discomfort but I told him no. I did mention that I did have some discharge that I wasn't happy with but he told me that it should go away soon.

Basically that was it.  Mrs. Nancy was still giddy at check out. But I had a overage so I didn't have to pay anything so her giddiness didn't piss me off.

Sex without condoms, pills, or prayer has been niceeeeee.

Paraguard IUD

About 45 days ago I decided to get an IUD (intrauterine device) that would be an easy solution for birth control.

I have tried just about every pill regular and generic , condoms, patches, pull out etc.

Let's face it I'm 26 years old and I am not ready to push out a kid. So in order to not have to ever think about if I will continue to be kid free I had to do something about it.

I've been researching IUDs for a couple years now . But due to insurance not wanting to cover it or help me out I chose other directions . This year when I got my yearly I decided I was going to try again and see if my insurance decided to cover it and what do you know ?! They covered  it at 100%. You can not imagine how excited I was . 

The doctors office ordered it and they told me to come in on the lightest day of my period.  ( side eye) .When I got there they took me into this seriously scary 1970s operation room where I was asked to get naked and cover my top with that stupid paper like gown. I mean if you get a girl naked at least offer me a piece of chocolate or a beer first ? Geez

My Gyn is very old school. I mean he never looks me in the eye, which I kind if feel a little weary about but whatever . He had his RN with him because he's smart and doesn't have time for any lawsuits . He told me about precautions and insertion. And he  washed and gloved up( because I don't play that mess) . He told me it would feel like a cramp. Unlucky/lucky me had no idea what a cramp felt like so when he inserted this device it felt like he had a wooden straw pushing it up against the wall of my uterus . I have a high tolerance for pain but let me tell you it was most definitely a 6/10 on the pain scale.

It took me about an hour to recover( no longer hurt or feel weird) and he told me to return next month.
