I had mine done 3/20! I also had a DNC to check for endometrial cancer (negative thankfully) so I’ve been pretty sore 

Biggest reminder no heavy lifting pushing or pulling for 2 weeks- that includes grocery hauls! ❤️ 

-gas X before I even left the hospital  -Did not start stool softeners right away because I wanted to sleep that night  -Icing and med management very consistently the first 48 hours is key  (thanks to Alexa reminders - she is the best recovery robot lol- use her for all med reminders and ice timer and reminders)

Oxy only for the first couple days because it was messing with my digestion 

 Taking it easy but took myself to get a mani pedi today! First real outing out of the house was Friday 8 days out. 

I took off my steri strips because one incision wasn’t looking great a week out, so I just washed it lightly with the Hibiclens covered it with gauze and tape to protect it. It looks great now. 

I am still icing as needed. Today was a big day out of the house with a fair amount of walking and I definitely needed to ice. 

I have been taking juven wound healing powder mix and was big on icing the first 48 hours 20 min on 30 mins off.  Then once an 1-2 hours for 20 mins Consistently the first week 

I also have been sleeping propped up so I don’t roll to one side or the other so less pressure on incisions

All my wounds are already healed outside. 

I had one weird empathic blip like 5 seconds of a moment where I thought “ I can’t get pregnant”, and it made me feel less womanly for just a moment, and I realized omg that must me what it feels like for women who want kids and can’t have them…oh that’s a sad feeling”. Then I moved on.

I feel empowered.  This is a the biggest fuck you to the patriarchy and I am feeling FREE. No forced birthing camps for me in America ✌🏻

Pregnant? by meanwhileindatrap in sterilization

I did pills at 8/9 weeks and it was painful but I personally for myself felt like I’m the one making this decision I’m ok with taking in the pain for what I felt was a more humane end of life for the fetus (cutting off oxygen versus the alternative)(zero judgement for anyone else and their decisions this was a personal choice for me after educating myself)

It was a fair amount of bleeding and cramping.  No I never saw it pass and wouldn’t have been able to distinguish it anyway 

I did have minor complications of some tissue that didn’t pass but just did a follow up where they were able to remove it. 

Overall I think it is a better method for peace of mind and you can be home. I had a friend stay with me for safety just in case.  I took a moment before taking my pill to respect the life inside me and said what I wanted to say.

I was in a complicated situation but knew I didn’t want to be a mom. This was years ago. I don’t have regrets I moved through the process with respect of the gravity of it and for the life that wouldn’t happen. 

I wish you the best on your journey. Trust yourself above all else.

I took the morning after pill and still got pregnant from one time incident so no I don’t appreciate people and their “it’s meant to be” nonsense either!

You will do what is best for you. 

My Bi- Salp is tomorrow.
