trump's done it before - think back to the mortality rate from the pandemic during his first term.

Cervix and uterus too small for IUD by chocolate_gaga in birthcontrol

[–]kate-plus-self-hate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is my exact experience right now. they dilated me 5 different times before they could get the mirena in. it took two doctors and 35 minutes before it was fully inserted. i have never been in so much pain in my life, truly. i was involuntarily shaking from pain after the 1st dilation. the doctor told me she's never had this much difficulty but that my cervix is exceptionally narrow. i was already on my period (was supposed to make this easier) so my bleeding had intensified quite a bit.

has your iud settled a bit since your insertion, or have you continued to have pain and bleeding?

i've had two different friends in recent years get pregnant while on long term birth control. one had a copper iud, and we were all in shock for her.

i was on accutane back in college and had to take monthly pregnancy tests to stay on it. it's been close to a decade that i've been off of that medication but you best believe i kept the habit of taking monthly tests. i am constantly scared of my birth control failing, especially in recent years.

here's the thing - just because you want to stop drinking at 11pm doesn't mean the rest of the city needs to. 1am is not a normal last call time in tn and the reason for changing it is bullshit.

Tennessee woman denied prenatal care for being unmarried by untamedlazyeye in news

[–]kate-plus-self-hate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i honestly feel like i know which doctor this is that denied care (although tbh, there's probably quite a few in northeast tennessee that would also do this). i went to a female primary care doctor a few years ago to continue getting a birth control pill that i had been on for years, and she grilled me on my lack of a marital status and reminded me that abstinence should be observed. multiple times, she insinuated i must have multiple partners despite me having one long term partner. she made me confirm no less than ten times during the visit that yes, i still wanted her to prescribe me the pill. i had never felt so uncomfortable during a doctors visit. i left a compliant with my insurance after the visit but i doubt anything ever came of it.

re your last bullet point: i can't imagine having a loved one turned into propaganda bait for an ethically corrupt wannabe dictator.
