Recovery questions after traumatic LEEP

Hi everyone, before anyone mentions asking my doctor who did this:

Ive decided to cut ties with that clinic after my traumatic experience (my post was on the one mentioning my mom also passed away and that i felt assaulted by this doctor)

Ive asked the office questions via email but never got emailed back, my GPs office is going to be taking over for results and finding me a new doctor for this (gyncological specialist for the LEEP and anything else i may need)

But i cant speak to my GP til next week, and when i tried urgent care they suggested i just talk to the doctor who did the procedure despite my wishes of not wanting to speak to her again. Plus, i cant seem to get an email back anyways.

I just have some questions...

About 20 minutes after my procedure, i had a large amount of grey sludge (monsel?) come out, was this too fast?

Im spotting, bleeding and losing some scabs id say, and theres smells (i WAS told smells would be normal) i lost some sort of fleshy looking thing aswell, but nothing that looks like coffee grounds.

But i still have heavy cramping a week after, i also feel like theres a golf ball inside me thats really hot, it feels like maybe im clenching something up when im not (im assuming my cervix is still inflamed?) is this a normal feeling? It hurts to sit in certain positions, and after i have a bowel movement, id say im back to being really sore and tender again. Its most comfortable laying down, also walking too much causes cramping and exhaustion

I have no fever or chills that im concerned about, more so just questions on "is what im feeling right now, to be expected" and if this golf ball feeling is also just inflamation?

Thank you so much i really appreciate any help :(

Im already planning my tree! Would this turn out good?

I want to do the viral look thats been around, of the white fairy lights that spiral around the tree, but i want coloured lights on the tree too! (Think the classic 80s/90s colours)

Do you think coloured lights as the base, with white spiral would look good? Or should i just do white twinkles and the spiral?

I love whimsical christmas vibes, tartan, nostalgic, etc!

Just had my leep today.. (bad experience)

And it was so horrific and traumatizing to me

I note this is my experience and not everyone will experience this as i did.. (SA mention)

I went in anxious, doctor knew, instantly says "do you want to cancel?"

I said no

I sit down, and within seconds she pretty much slams the speculum inside me. I cried, i could tell i mustve ripped abit too (as i have vaginismus.. ripping is my new norm with penetration) and she was instantly telling me i needed to stop crying and relax.

I asked for lube, she pulls out the speculum and added lube, and again, put it in forcefully. I cry, try and relax, and she begins to tell me i need to relax or shell cancel and ill have to rebook. "Is that what you want?'

I start getting more and more anxious from this attitude, and then she sprayed the vinegar solution and some numbing spray (it burned) and then she was going to stab me with a needle to see if i felt anything... This is when she did the injections, and i felt everything, i felt the needle insert into my cervix and being pushed deeper and deeper, i was crying so hard and asking for my friend to come in, she said "nope its too late for that"

Needle comes out... Another needle section, i start crying, im begging her to be done, she said "you want me to be done? We can cancel right now and then rebook you and deal with this all over again if you want"

I just laid there crying, legs shaking, the nurse was barely holding my hand, and i could feel the procedure taking place, the warmth and going in circles (no pain for that) at this point i laid there completely feeling defeated, weak, and violated.. she told me to get up slowly and then to just leave. So i left.. holding onto myself and crying, i was in an unsurmountable amount of pain (im sensitive in my entire vaginal/genital regions) and they set me up in a resting chair, where i curled up and hid my face from everyone.. i didnt want anyone looking at me.

I felt like.. a triggered response, this almost felt a bit like assault.. and as someone whos gone through SA, hearing someone tell you to stop crying and to just relax and not panic, made me feel even more triggered.

I guess kendras switched to a new realty company!

Curious why the switch up, she always talked so highly of working with Ernie at her previous company

hEDS, what are we doing for lower back pain?

I currently cant walk, as it feels like something in my lower back is either stiff or out of place. This seems to happen all the time.

Its hard to describe, i walk with a slant to relieve the pressure, it feels like someones taken my hips and pushes down hard!

I did dishes earlier, and standing with this pain was proving to be extra difficult. I only find relief when i lay on my side!

Desperate for help on controling stress?

Hello everyone

Im in desperate need for help for dealing with anxiety and stress, But i feel like my psychiatrist isnt listening to me and i cannot do anymore breathing techniques

Im on trazodone for insomnia and prozac, but i feel no difference.

I wake up and the moment i open my eyes, my chest is heavy and fluttery.

I eat my breakfast and my minds already running millions of miles.

About life, my future, repeat, going on vacation (finds stress and anxiety here)

I need to repeat my daily activities, if i dont, i get anxious

I go to work, its fine, but im convinced ill fuck up every single day (i never do)

I try meditation, yoga, breathing, but this heaviness in my chest never goes away, no matter what.

Im healthy (my blood work shows my levels are good) 31F, 5'0, i workout almost daily, im a healthy eater, ive had significant trauma in my life,

It gets to the point that im scared to have a heart attack in my 30s, and my GP is even stating shes worried of stress related conditions coming up from this

What are some genuine techniques youve used with clients to help them relax? Something that isnt just breathing and holding their breath

Best taxi/uber transport from airport to hotel?

Hello all!

Ill be arriving in Florence towards the final week of august to september, and im seemingly having a hard time figuring out taxis or ubers to my hotel!

I downloaded the app "appTaxi" just to get an idea, and it says that it cannot pick me up from the airport, I also noticed the ubers arent as frequent as they are in other countries, but would it likely be the same issue?

I appreciate any help! Thank you!

▲ 80 r/union

Hoping our union steps up harder than ever for our grooming/gender expression/personal choice rights.

Working for a national corporation

Seems as though a man decided to do his nails at work, nothing wrong with that, respect all to him.

Management requested he removes this nude colour. Asks Why? Management gives no answer.
Today. Sunday, We have found out theres a new policy in place, without informing our union.

Earlier this year we did a contract, explained our professional appearance and uniform. All was accepted, including knowing that management may not overlap into personal lives when it comes to appearances.

Management has now decided.

Women: Must trim their hair monthly, consider a conservative length. Little to no make up, Do not look distracting. No nails, if so, only nude colours. Consider a more conservative style. No Jewelry, if you do, only silver and gold, must be smaller than 4mm.

Men: Must always shave and fade your facial hair, consider buying hair gel.
Requests both to learn to style our hair.

Says "We are aiming for a forgettable look, we don't want families remembering you at all."

This all stemmed after an individual did their nails.
Everyones been given until Monday to comply. I have spoken to some coworkers, those who are unable to get hair and grooming appointments fear for being written up. This has been set up as a trap. Some fear they may lose their job this week due to such timing.

A coworker has reached out and feels this also stems from hate and retaliation of starting a union, this considerably goes under Canadas Gender Identity Expression, which is inclusive of LGBTQ+ and NON LGBTQ+ individuals, for those who feel the way they express their identity is through either: hair style, make up, manicures, facial hair, nail colour and jewelry

By no means do none of my coworkers appear as distracting, loud, or gaudy, everyone has a wonderful personality and appears professional at all times.

What is going on.
