I'm glad you're home safe and sound!  Sorry about your bad hospital stay, I have had one of those in the past..it really does seem to make everything worse when the staff can't get their **** together for you!!  If it's worth the effort you could write them a letter.. personally I just wanted to forget about it and I let it drop but I guess if no one complains how will they know they need to change right?!!

Hope you're recovery goes well!! Welcome home!

I too switched over to Mirena a few months before my surgery.  I love it and haven't had a period in over 2 years... so the amount of money I save in co-pays plus tampons, etc, is HUGE.

If I were on the pill still, I probably would have gone with the sponge, condoms or some kind of spermicidal jelly for back-up. 

The insertion of the IUD was not pleasant... I needed to lay there for about 20 minutes afterwards cuz I was lightheaded... and then about 30 minutes later I had a very URGENT bowel movement..... other than that, I just felt blah for a few hours. 

So, not the worse experience, but more uncomfortable than your average pelvic exam.  Totally worth 5 years of no fuss birth control though!

Hi,

I am glad you are OK.  That's OK about the meeting.  The next one is March 5th.

I will keep in touch anyhow.

I took a pain reliever before I had it done.  I was a quick painful pinch when he snaps the IUD in place then a little soreness for like a day and thats all.  It really was not that bad.  I do have one disclaimer that is a bit TMI (sorry in advance)  If your significant other is how should I say it...... well endowed,  he may feel a quick poke which is quite a suprise to them and you!   It happened once and since that we have been fine.

Hey donna. Sorry I didn't call. I've had a lot of people around taking care of me. Kathleen said shed email u for me. I'm glad u two spoke. I think next sat might not work but maybe the week after. Kathleen agrees. I just want more time to heal. Let me know if that works for u. Ttus.
