I at one point, really wanted to get an IUD fitted. Specifically the copper IUD, as i wanted no added hormones. I'd been on the combined pill (Yasmin brand) 7 years and came off it because of all the awful side effects that I just couldn't take anymore. And also more importantly, because it was upping my risk of breast cancer the longer I stayed on it (I also have family history of breast cancer hence increasing my risk- The GP was informed at the beginning that I have breast cancer in my family). In the 7 years of being on the pill, not once did a GP physically see me or even complete a telephone review with me. They simply asked if i could send them a blood pressure reading by text once every 6 months. Which i did, because I cared about my health. But for all they knew i could have just been making it up just because I didn't have time to check it at a pharmacy and needed the next pill prescription asap. Not once was I told this would increase my chances of breast cancer after 5 years. It made me gain 4 stone and not once was I told to be mindful of my weight and risk of blood clots. I had to educate myself. The standard and duty of care was so abysmally poor, considering the UK is one of the richest countries in the world. Since coming off the pill, I have been 'myself' for the first time after 7 years of crippling depression that I had never even attributed to the pill. I just couldn't understand what the cause was at the time and only realised it when I came off the pill. It was the pill. It was the cause of 7 years of misery and hardship and very dark places. I'm more relaxed now. Calmer. Happier. Patient. Human. And my libido has returned, though it took 4 months to return to how it was. It told me alot about what this pill is doing to our bodies. At that point when I was weighing up/considering the copper IUD, it was because I didn't really want to rely on condoms and tracking my cycle as I was terrified at even the concept of accidentally conceiving. But, that's what I ended up opting for and have stuck with and have been absolutely fine. I track my 28 day cycle on my app, and on ovulation days or even days anywhere near ovulation days, I will use a condom (which somehow feels weird when you're married, but whatever). The only time I would risk it without a condom is either right after my period has finished or just before it starts. Wow ladies... when I told the GP I had made the informed decision to come off the pill (that I had given months of deep thought and learning to it) and would be opting for the natural route of being hormone free, tracking my cycle, and using condoms on fertile days...I was LITERALLY almost forced into considering an IUD. Like the pressure was unreal. It was relentless. "You should strongly consider the IUD" etc etc. Despite me saying multiple times I had already made my choice and decision. I had more calls and even invites for physical appointments to discuss the IUD, compared to 0 reviews/check-ups whilst being on the pill for SEVEN YEARS. I was like, just... NO! I have made an informed choice about what I think is best for my body. Please respect that and take me seriously. Like, accept it. It is my body and you have no right to pressure me into this. Only when I got firm and had to advocate for myself did they back off. It made me think, I wonder how many women have been talked into getting an IUD fitted when they weren't really sure. What about those women who aren't able to advocate for themselves for multiple reasons? Are they sat now with IUD's inside them that they didn't really want? It made me question the entire medical model when it comes to women's health and how we just aren't taken seriously in comparison to men. It angered me and frustrated me. Here we are in 2024 still fighting battles that our mother's and grandmother's had to fight. I realised, we haven't progressed at all in the arena of women's health. It was disappointing. It was physically seeing what my dearest friend endured, when the option of the copper IUD completely went out of the window for me. The option of any kind of IUD in fact. I was there with her for both the insertion and the removal (removal took place 3 days later) and I saw it all. At the appointment for the insertion/fitting, I had never heard a scream from a woman I know to that effect. It was blood curdling. It literally shook me to the bone. She fainted there and then on the table and was just totally out of it- clammy and pale. I was petrified and thought something had majorly gone wrong. Yet to my utter bewilderment, the doctor and nurse were so casual about it. It's almost like they were used to it. Like this was something they see all the time. Meanwhile, I was just frozen. It was literally like a little tap on her cheek and: "Your all done now! You've been such a brave girl!" (She's a 35 year old woman- just for the record). My friend came round and began sobbing hysterically and saying it doesn't feel right and I'm in so much pain. She was actually traumatised. They said (so dismissively): "Oh don't worry, it's just a bit of mild cramping and that will pass in a few hours. You may have some light spotting, but that's completely normal sweetheart". They handed her two measley paracetamol. I was stunned. Just stunned. I couldn't believe what had just unfolded and the sheer minimisation of it. The patronising and infantalising response. She sobbed all the way home saying she felt like she was in labour, just as she was with her first child. She asked me and said was it just her or was that whole encounter just surreal. She said they told her it was a simple and painless procedure. That it may be slightly uncomfortable. But totally manageable. She yelped every time a cramp came. It was akin to driving a woman in labour to a hospital. That night she rang me to say she was contracting severely every 5 mins and it was coming in intense waves and she was bleeding clots. Like soaking through sanitary towels. I said, this cannot be normal. This torture went on for another day. She was vomiting as a result of the pain at this stage. She could not do anything but lay in the foetal position in bed with a hot water bottle rocking back and forth. She even took some codeine painkillers- it didn't even touch the pain. The 3rd day in the morning, her husband found her collapsed on the bathroom floor, clammy, sweating, and bleeding from her vagina. He raced her to Emergency (because he was told an ambulance was an 11 hour wait due to it "just being cramps from just having a coil fitted". She had it removed upon arrival after a 3 hour wait on the hard plastic waiting room chairs. The male doctor that removed it said he was astounded- They had put the wrong size coil in her first of all. And second of all it wasn't fitted correctly. He said the first rational thing I had heard since her whole saga began: "MORE WORK NEEDS TO BE DONE ON THIS ISSUE...THIS IS AN EXTREMELY PAINFUL PROCEDURE FOR MANY WOMEN. THE CERVIX IS A PARTICULARLY DELICATE AND SENSITIVE TISSUE, AND THERE IS SIMPLY NO ADEQUATE PAIN RELIEF BEING OFFERED TO WOMEN UNDERGOING THIS PROCEDURE. NEITHER ARE WOMEN FULLY INFORMED ABOUT WHAT CAN COMMONLY OCCUR (I.e. this!)". I was put off for life. So now for me it's just track the cycle, condom on fertile days, and unprotected sex just before or after period only. It's working great and I'm not being flushed with synthetic hormones nor do I have a peice of copper causing me unimaginable pain. Note to add, my other friend had the copper IUD fitted also (she wanted no hormones) and bled for 80% of the month (so she couldn't have sex anyway- which was the whole point) and then she would get her period which was horrendous agony that at one point she ended up in hospital because the pain was so severe. She said she literally bled 80% of the time every month for 6 months straight and then had it removed. Both insertion and removal she said were two of the most horrendous instances of pain she had ever experienced and referred to it as quote 'controlled medical torture'. I hope that this little story/experience helps someone ❤

My poor gf:)

That video was so quick! When I got mine they were sliding it in slowly and it sounded like when you're wearing shorts on a plastic playground slide and your thighs and the friction cause that squeak sound.

My iud insertion was traumatizing. They told me it would be just a pinch, offered no paid meds before or after. Asked to leave after throwing up and while still crying. Bled heavily for 4 months straight, was told “I didnt know what real pain is because im a woman” and most women handle it fine. Was in extreme pain for 40ish hours afterwards Its been 5 years and I still have never been back to the obgyn. I apparently need a pap smear that also is just a pinch and barely hurts but im terrified.

So I have Pcos and was told the exact opposite - that the nuvaring and bc like Yasmin and yaz have the progesterone that is supposed to be good for people with Pcos. Now I’m extra confused. I did well on the nuvaring except that it caused severe anxiety. I’m on Yasmin right now and I hate it. Not sure what to do next.

Hello, if a man becomes infected with ureoplasma, does it affect his sperm while the infection is present, or is the damage permanent? Thank you

I just got the monthly ring, I haven’t tried it yet. Thank you for this informational video, it was very helpful!

Ty for telling me I looked up on Google and it scared me so much😭

Just got one worst pain of my life(ive had 2 kidney infections one which almost offed me) so bad infact i vomited and ended up blacking out. 😢

I had one without pain management. I've had 2 C-sections, the first was 17 hr labor and 11 without the epidural. IUD was the worst pain I've ever felt in my life!

I’m 25 and have never had one

FU€K YEAH!!!!!

THAT LOOKS CRAZY.

I have ureaplasma hominis, meaning my own body allowed the bacteria to multiply to high levels. I have never had this issue before. Is it because I am premenopausal? I have never been so uncomfortable before...the itching, burning, urgent need to urinate often...it is the MOST annoying feeling.

Am I the only one who bled for over 2 weeks while it was inserted? My Dr. finally told me to take it out for a week to see if the bleeding would stop and it did. I only had it in for a month at this point. I'm hoping my body was just getting used to a change because I've been on depo for years and rarely ever bleed during the year. We'll see. I've had it back in for 3 weeks now so I'll attempt again to keep it in for 3 months but I'm already starting to cramp😢

I am the person with painful periods and I’m going to do the three months ago. I just have one question does it hurt to put in? Because this is my first time using a vaginal ring and I’m kind of nervous.

❤😊

noooo thanks, just got my nexplanon implant yesterday 😅😅😅😅

I get reoccurring bv ONLY from semen.

just had this done a couple hours ago. the only thing that hurt was the lidocaine shot, but it only burned for a couple of seconds and then i couldn't feel anything after! the actual insertion was less than a minute. super easy.

Can you place it anytime when you first receive it or have to wait till on your period?

The amount of people not understanding what this is or how this works is very concerning to me

Im so pissed that apparently ive had this for 5 years and NOBODY told me, I keep asking the doctor treating me who found it and she kept dodging my question. Now its 2024 and they put me on azithromycin which only started working at the last day of my alotted refill to the antibiotic (12 days) and they refused to let me take it for another 6 days due to not wanting me to be antibiotic resistant(which is ironic because they pumped me full of 2 other antibiotics I didnt need when my culture tested negative for a uti , and now I have to take MORE antibiotics that are much more harmful to my body that my immune susyem will become resistant to just by taking it). Fluroquinilones literally disable people, I really dont want to take them. If they kept me on amoxycilin id be cured because it did start to work. It pisses me off so much that they never told me about this issue and make excuses as to why they didnt. Youd think they would want to check in to ensure it went away on its own.

Its not STI

I'm scare of needles and getting this in an hour. Hell nah bro I'm gonna pass out

What if you get fingered during sex? Will it come out ?

Love ❤️ 😍 💖 ❣️ 💕 💘 ❤️ 😍 💖 ❣️ 💕 💘 ❤️ 😍 💖 ❣️ 💕

Will the Pelvic Therapist help you insert the dilator?

Got this removed recently. It was great not needing to worry about taking pills but I gained so much weight and I would get so depressed so easily and not be able to do anything all day.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉

You fail in the open, lighty day ...I m expect in this even can do it by close eye

No no staying on pills forever

Please never take moxifloxacin or ciprofloxacin... Pls dont. The side effects can last life long

Be careful who you’re sleeping w. Doctors love to say this isn’t a STI. But if there’s only one partner & things like this keeps happening. SOMETHING is wrong. Men need doctors too! Specifically for their genitals!

It gave me a 5 month long period

Today I'm getting my first one. I'm really really scared I keep crying. Im doing it for my periods and hopefully sex later

Would I be able to feel it in her arm with my finger?
