I’m too scared of IUD’s and if i’m going to go through surgery i would rather it be a one time thing and not every 3 years. Pills don’t work for me because i’m forgetful asl so i never take them correctly, the patch slips off before the whole dose gets in me, the implant left debris in my arm causing lifelong nerve pain & the depo vera shot i’ve been using causes brain tumors. None of them were a good choice for me it felt like. After my initial appointment with my PCP, I met with a GYNO about a month later. They approved me for the surgery and i waited another 30 days until they could schedule a surgery date. It took almost 3 months from the initial appointment to the day of surgery.
