#next time i am absolutely a. asking for the smaller speculum and b. going somewhere they actually have anesthesia etc

Christ I wish I had been given a better heads-up abt what iud insertion entailed. If you have bad cramps on periods, know that they like. Grab Your Cervix which, for me, Induced the worst cramps of my entire whole life even on painkillers and weed gummy, and continued for a day

#text #paersonal #so fucking unfair that having a vagina is a one way ticket to medieval torture. #if you show a cis man a speculum they rightfully freak tf out jdbjdbd #fuck this shit man... #like its been a while but im thinking abt it bc was trying to nap and failed and mind was wandering and jfc #next time i am absolutely a. asking for the smaller speculum and b. going somewhere they actually have anesthesia etc #at least it lasts for 8 years #and it only took 3 minutes #but the way they describe shit is not how it turned out for me lol #like regular pain vs Cramps Pain The Worst Of My Life are two v different things #and i have a pretty high pain tolerance... #even premedicated it was so rough #which this isnt me saying dont get it bc again. 8 years vs three minutes (and a day of very bad cramps) #and it varies by person #its just nice to have a heads up #and know how to remedy #i.e. premedicate and go somewhere w anesthesia #the cramps for that day were more tolerable than the three minutes but good god
