I went with all intentions of getting the Implanon implant implanted (how many implants? ha ha!) in my arm as that looked a good option, not too bad side effects i.e putting weight on, was my main reason for avoiding the pill again, shallow, I know!
So in I go with two kids in tow and the Doctor is running like 30 minutes late, usual Doctor surgery etiquette! Within this 30 minutes, I need to escape the surgery as my one year old does a number two. So once freshly cleaned and changed and after constant wiping of the kids hands (germs in Doctors waiting rooms is freaky) I get called into the Doctors room.
I should have known or used common sense, the Doctor cannot insert the implant today! Oh Great! So that means I have to return on Friday! AGAIN with two kids in tow!
So once the Doctor has gone through all the side effects and explains how the implant will be implanted etc etc I chicken out!! I know weak! Its just too hard to come back AGAIN in two days time with TWO kids and to be honest I'm pretty freaked out about the injection to numb my arm and then they will have to insert the implant with two littlies watching! I don't know which freaked me out more!
So back on the pill we are!
Oh, I couldn't do an implant either! Foreign objects in my body totally freak me out. That's why I shoot my doctor down every time he brings up the IUD.
ReplyDeleteI got a prescription for the pill, but I chickened out on that too. (I didn't want to be on artificial hormones and get the nasty side effects. I'm not so keen on gaining extra weight either.) And what do you know? I'm pregnant again.
Should've seen that coming, I guess. lol.
Haha! Congrats on the pregnancy! Its not fair is it? There should be a male pill or IUD! Imagine? Haha! They would be scared stiff!
