"We don't do IUD's unless you've been pregnant or had a chlid...I'll leave your name with the clinician...the recommendations say..."
I'm so tired of hearing these types of things. Oh what a curse to be born a woman and never want to bear yourself. I called Planned Parenthood in my area today. They'll see about making an exception but basically they don't do them on women who have never been pregnant or had a child. When I asked her if she had a recommendation of another birth control method I could use that was non-hormonal...well, let's just say she came up with lots of suggestions that didn't meet that standard. I hate this....

Doctors suck
Date: 2004-09-09 02:39 pm (UTC)From:I went through dozens - literally dozens - of gyns, clinics, and even pcps who constantly told me that the low-dose was better. They refused to prescribe my regular dose, no matter how much pain I was in. They wouldn't even give me a reason why; they said that they worry about blood clots in the legs of women over forty who smoke.
I feel like whenever I go in to a gynecologist, he or she knows my body is just like every other body that has come into that office, and if it isn't - well - I must just be lying.
Grrrr. Keep trying, hon. Someone, somewhere in a doctors office isn't stupid.
