Aww fuck it
Went into work early today, so I could leave early for my 4.30 doctors appointment. I hate early mornings - not helped by the 11.30 phone call I had last night.
Got to the doctors 10 minutes early - which was just fantastic, because they were running 30 minutes late.
I go in to see the doctor, she gives a bit of spiel, and then takes me off to the nurses room.
I finally got around to sorting out the fitting of the merina coil!
Except I didn’t. Apparently, they always have trouble fitting them to women who have not had children, and I was no exception. I don’t know if it’s a good thing to know that they “almost got it all the way in, but it wouldn’t go that last bit” or not.
It was painful, but nowhere near as bad as the period pain I get about once every 3 months. Probably helped by the pain killers I took an hour before I got there - double dosage.
Anyway, they gave up, so I am going to have to go through the whole thing again at the family planning clinic, where apparently they can give a local anaesthetic to make it a lot easier.
Oh joy of joys.
