Spike ,'Selfless'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Just done, Teppy. My pain thresholds are odd. For some things, I'm not bothered at all. Other things go from 1 to 10 with nothing in between. My annual appointments are more annoying than painful. I love my doc. But it will be a different doc doing it tomorrow. I've heard good things about her - she did K-Bug's colposcopy.
I'm letting my anxiety get to me. I think I'll go for my lorazapam tonight and maybe half of one in the morning with the ibuprofen.
Suzi, I don't have one myself, but fwiw, I have heard it is less painful if you have had children.

That sounds like a good plan. Mirena~ma!
Jilli, when in July are you in the UK?
Mid July. I think we get there on the 12th? (I don't have my phone near me, so I can't check.)
where you can sit at a desk and have the librarian bring you a big box of drawings to look through.
Including the original Winnie the Pooh sketches.
!!!
Right, two days at the V&A.

I did not know about this!
Just done, Teppy.
It's supposed to be less painful then, because your cervix is still soft, and therefore easier to get the Mirena through.
Also, like sj said, it's supposed to be less painful if you've had kids, again, because of something to do with your cervix.
I did not know about this!
I found out about it by accident. I was in the gift shop before leaving the V&A, and saw a Winnie the Pooh postcard. I went back to the security desk and asked where I could find it in the museum, and the guard kindly directed me to the prints & drawings room.
Oh, and Jilli, definitely get to the gift shop before it closes. I think the shop closed before the museum the day we were there, and I missed out on the gift shop, which is one of my favorites.
WRT the Mirena: I found the discomfort similar to having an IUI, which makes sense what with the fact that both require insertion past the cervix. Def recommend an ibuprofen before you go in.
Regarding Mirena: I'm a big wimp, and I found insertion uncomfortable but not really painful. Like, no sharp pains, just a weird what-the-hell feeling. I haven't had kids, but it was one day after my period stopped. There was no lingering discomfort after. I had mild cramps for a day, and that was it. Even if it had been more painful, it would have been worth it, though!
