I had an appointment with my OBGYN to discuss my IUD potentially being out of place, waiting on ultrasound appointment for that. They did a culture swab as well and the results show BV and yeast, I will start prescriptions tomorrow. I am wondering what I can do to prevent these from reccuring? Should my male partner also take antibiotics for BV to prevent reinfection? TIA for your time, any advice is appreciated.
I had laparoscopic surgery done to diagnose/ablase endometriosis 8 months ago and had an IUD put in at that time. They said bleeding would not go away/be consistent for 6 months to a year. The bleeding slowed down over time but picked back up like crazy within the past month. I saw my OBGYN last week and my strings are visible and at the same length as expected, but they scheduled an ultrasound in a few weeks to see if the IUD is out of place in my uterus. Im still bleeding (and thankfully have minimal pain), but I'm SO frustrated about the bleeding! I finally got my sex drive back after the procedure, and now Im back to bleeding so much I cant have sex outside of the shower 😭 AND I cant my 🐱 ate??? Its just cruel. I want a hysterectomy so badly (I know it wont help with the endo, but the bleeding will stop!) and agreed to the IUD so that I could start jumping through insurance hoops to get a hysterectomy eventually. I told my OBGYN that if the IUD is out of place and would need removed that a hysterectomy is the next step for me, and she is in full support, thankfully. I just know with my age its going to be a struggle to get insurance approval for a hysterectomy and I am so stressed. Im supposed to get married soon and I cant even enjoy that thought until this is all settled. If you read all this, thank you for reading/listening to my rant. Fuck being a woman, let's howl at the moon together tonight yall.
I live in an apartment complex and my partner called to let me know their amazon package was delivered but not put in a locker. Unfortunately packages not locked up are frequently stolen. So I went to the mail room and picked up the package. On the way a neighbor said hello. I (looking ROUGH after just getting out of bed) said "hello, how are you doing this fine morning?" Which would be a standard question, but...it was 3:30 in the afternoon. 🥲 Thankfully they said they were well and carried on their merry way. 🤣 This is also a day after several neighbors watched me carry a honeybee found in the apartment down 3 sets of stairs to release it. Im okay being the crazy neighbor because at least I know Im kind too.
