IUD, LOOP, OR COIL INSERTION

Hello everyone, I went to my GP to have the loop or coil or IUD fitted. This is 11 months after the the birth of our daughter. I would advice that you take very strong pain killers at least half an hour before you go in for your appointment. I did have a very strong pain killer before I went in. Some people say that if you have had vaginal birth it would not hurt and stuff, however it did hurt me a bit, more like being uncomfortable. But I kept telling myself that the pain killers have kicked in, and that helped to relax me a lot. So basically the procedure starts with a chat of about different contraceptive, I already knew that I wanted the loop because I had the implant and I gained a lot of weight. After the long talk, I was made to lay down, bend my knees and open wide, the clamp is inserted and it opened my cervix wide, the depth of my vagina was measured, the coil fitted in and the thread was trimmed, then the rest tucked in. I am not sure what the problem was, however I had my periods some weeks later, and I alwats used tampons,or menstural cups. I had such heavy flow for day one which usually I would normally use pantie liners as it was not usuallt heavy for a first day, so by the end of the day I had used 6 pads. On the 3rd day of my periods, the coil came out, not sure why, maybe it was not inserted properly. I did read that I could use tampons with the coil, but this one got expelled. I may try another hospital or Dr because this one when fitted, made my husband uncomfortable when we had sex, he could feel it. Maybe because the nurse did not trim the thread very short. So for now, I will have to either stay on the pills or get an alternative. I welcome thoughts. Remain blessed.

Myomectomy surgery, and my faith

Image
I was 26 years old when I found out that I had fibroids. I am African American. I have had heavy periods with clots for 3years but when I went to my GP, the nurse dismissed it as anemia and probably my change in diet. In 2012 after uni, I decided to have the contraceptive implant under my arm so I could focus on my education to become a lawyer. Whilst I was in law school, I did not have a period for 6 months, but on the 7 th month I had a very heavy clot so much that it weighed down my knickers, as big as an orange that came out, I was scared and ran to d GP and he thought I was having a miscarriage, and I thought that the contraceptive had failed me. But after a pregnancy test I was not, and then the doctor spoke to me about Fibroids, which I dismissed because all the people I knew that had Myomectomy where in their late or early 40s so I dismissed it. In November 2013 after I was called to the bar (became a solicitor and advocate) I had taken out the implant in October bec...

Post Myomectomy

Post myomectomy operation, I will advice that you stick to the doctor’s advice, do all he tells you even if your body feels otherwise. I spent 3 days in the hospital and when I came home, having OCD, I unpacked my bags myself, and put things away. I also took very short walks, from the house to the gate, as the doctor told me to exercise my calf muscles. On my day 2 at home, I made lunch, and also swept my house from kitchen to bathroom, lounge and bedroom, as I was bored, and also because I feel no one can clean to my taste. I did not feel any pain, and I could bend, although I could not stand up right. A week later, I removed the stitches, and then the pay back began. First of all it was so painful taking off the plaster as my pubic hair had grown a bit. (Rub a lot of baby oil on all sides of the plaster before you go to have it removed) when the thread was taken off, it was as if the pain had been released. I could not walk upright again; I was in so much pain, had swellings ...

FOLIC ACID REVIEW

I started taking folic acid about 3 weeks ago, excited about it, and feeling very prepared for my journey; all of a sudden I started having pimples very tiny ones like rash on my forehead .  I started using my Italian towel, but to no avail.  It still kept coming up fresh every day and multiplying. I had to sit back and think about what new stuff I have introduced to my system. I then pinned it down to the folic acid. I browsed about it, and I found out that most people complained that they did have acne from taking the folic acid. It has been 3 days since I stopped taking it, and I can see the pimples is suppressing on its own. My husband explained to me that the dosage maybe very high. My dearest friend Mina, did suggest that I take pregnacare in prepration, for conception, as it also has all the nutrients I need from conception, and pregnancy.  So I think that I will start that by the end of the month. A pharmacist did explain to me that in pregnacare the amou...
