I had one inserted 10 odd years ago, and the ladies(!) who did it had zero sympathy and wouldn’t even give me Tylenol. I had to take it out 2 days later. Never again.

    I’ve heard enough horror stories about coils, and I’ve had enough instances of medical stuff not believing me over my level of pain to understand how this creates a perfect storm of sexist BS where people are suffering unecessarily.

    It’s amazing to me that women who work in medicine still perpetuate this unsympathetic attitude.
