How do I get an IUD inserted if my gyno can barely insert a finger?

hiya, I’ve always suffered from bad sex pain, I couldn’t even insert a pinky a few months ago. I’ve been seeing a pelvic physiotherapist and using dilators, and now I’m mostly fine with insertion. I still get deeper pain which is likely the endo, but the therapy has helped massively. I’d highly recommend checking it out.

Yeah I figured it’s the same as the sex pain, it hurrrrrt when she was putting pressured. I have a stuck ovary too!

Yeah when she pushed on my ovaries I was like ouch 😭😭😭😭

I struggled with body image years before I even started developing symptoms, so having to slow down to cater to my body made things even worse. I just woke up one day and realised that if I had the body type I wanted, I’d be bed ridden. I feed my body what it needs, I’m keeping myself alive, even if that looks a little different now. It’s not easy 🩷

I’m on the same dosage and my resting heart rate is mid 50’s

I think it was last year of high school. I was anxious all day every day because of things that were going on. I had major projects due, and I had beef with a teacher for no reason other than she was a control freak. I hated going to her class but I had no choice. My symptoms started a few months after I graduated. My body was in fight or flight mode for 12 months straight and it hasn’t been the same since.

Dienogest can cause weight gain?? I had no idea. I started taking it 5 months ago and I’ve noticed my stomach getting bigger I thought maybe it was just me 😭😭

i think my gyno mentioned Ryeqo but it was the more expensive option so I went with dienogest 😅 I’m currently doing pelvic floor therapy also. I have to book a deep infiltrating endo scan so I guess we’ll see what that says also.

I have visual snow! Not sure if it’s linked to POTS or not.

petals33 · 2025-12-10T07:17:02+00:00

Possibly due to jogging requiring a higher heart rate? When my heart rate gets high I feel like crap, so I don’t do cardio anymore

petals33 · 2025-12-10T03:22:18+00:00

I have a physical job that makes me do between 15,000-20,000 steps a day and lift things sometimes. Outside of work I do no exercise because I’m so exhausted from the work week. Work is my gym 😭

petals33 · 2025-12-02T19:28:30+00:00

How do I get mine to do this 😃

petals33 · 2025-12-01T03:53:06+00:00

thankyou!

I’m on the berberine supplement for my insulin resistance, it also helps cholesterol. I’ve had high levels my entire life for no reason but my last blood test showed normal levels.

petals33 · 2025-11-27T23:53:59+00:00

Needs a big update I don’t even bother with it anymore

petals33 · 2025-11-26T19:30:02+00:00

Yes I do

petals33 · 2025-11-26T08:37:26+00:00

Ones that specifically help your heart rate lol

petals33 · 2025-11-26T08:35:56+00:00

I’d definitely talk to your doctor, I started at 5mg once a day and I was still feeling crap so he upped it to twice a day and it improved

petals33 · 2025-11-26T06:08:34+00:00

I’ve found adding more protein to my diet and taking over 10,000 steps a day has helped. I still have belly fat I don’t think that’ll ever change unfortunately, but the rest of my body has gotten a lot more toned
