Today's objective: Pamper myself

[soc_puppet]

Just had an IUD put in today! (Hormonal type, not copper.) We'll see if it's any improvement on the pills. I mean, it's definitely an improvement over having to take another pill every day, but other than that. I can go back to the pill if I need to, though; it was a bit annoying, but the "no cramps" made up for things pretty well.

Meanwhile, brand new IUD means I'm experiencing cramps for the first time in over half a year 😂 Time to make use of the heat packs the hospital generously gave me...

heat pack, there's a thought, but I'd have to get up to go microwave the thing…

Since November IUD vs Pills has been a discussion with my friends. Copper seems not-great but otherwise it is all a new area for us, even the ones working in health. We don't know anyone with one so I apologise in advance for now stalking your story.

Hooray! I hope the IUD agrees with you!

I finally got back on the pill about 6 months ago, after my cramps hit the point of being so debilitating I just couldn't handle the thought of continuing to deal with them.

I hope the IUD cramps pass quickly and that the heating packs help!
