Oof.

Getting an IUD hurts more than getting your clit pierced.

May I tell you my story?

I tried to get an IUD several times this semester. They could never get it past my cervix, even with dilators and a medicine that they give for (a) abortions (b) starting labor (c) IUDs on stubborn cervixes like mine. Nope. My cervix knows what's up. Nothing's going to trick it.

The downside was spending a lot of hours on my back with some discomfort. The upside was that each time I got to meet someone more and more interesting. The last conversation I had went something like, "There is a woman near Park and Chicago who is about 90. She used to perform abortions when they were illegal. She wears heels when she operates. If anyone can do it, it's her."

Awesome.

oh my god what a nightmare. if your insurance will cover it, i'd recommend the ring. i loved that when i was on it, and you only need to deal with it once a month

I want to meet that woman.
I'll bet she has cats.

I'm sorry your cervix is such a badass. But hey, your cervix is SUCH a badass!

Jess - If getting your clit pierced hurts less than that I might consider it. Lets play this weekend. I'm gonna need some love after my bio final.

This is a conversation that I really feel should've been in a place where I couldn't see it...

bets- we can play but not love. one of the iud rules was no orgasms for a week.

daniel- if you don't want to see something, take out your eyes. modesty is not an option on my post-patriarchal blog =P

Good suggestion. I'll check it out.

I'm not sure if she has cats, but she has a daughter in the same business. They're a team. Mildred and Margaret.

And yes, my cervix is probably the most badass part of me. All I need to do when having sex is think about IUDs. It's like built in birth control. Not that I'm actually advocating this.
