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.
That sounds like a good plan. Mirena~ma!
Jayne, your mouth is talking. You might wanna look to that.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[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.

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 look more rad than Lutheranism
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.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
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!

Thrive to spite them
A friend of mine said it hurt worse getting it taken out.
Instead of going for the copper only IUD I'm going to have a tubal occlusion at the end of the month.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Mid July. I think we get there on the 12th? (I don't have my phone near me, so I can't check.)
That is when I will be there! We should meet up at some point (because that's what I do when I go to distant places: meet up with people I know from different distant places than the place I am in)
