I just got back from the hospital. Had a Mirena IUD (intrauterine device) put in. Yay for contraceptives! Non-yay for the incredible pain I'm in.
Luckily I was sedated and slept through the whole procedure. However, I reacted badly to the prep fluid (lube, basically, and to my cunt it feels like the "tingling sensation" lube from HELL), and was completely nervous about a) the needles for the IV, and b) the tampon of DEATH applicator for the IUD. Which is why I'm glad I slept through it. :D
And my lovely co-worker agreed to work tonight for me. I owe her big-time.
So from now on (the next 5 years) I not only don't have to worry about pregnancy, but also the progesterone on the IUD will make my periods lighter and possibly make them disappear all together.
YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY.
Off to relax.
