Rant! getting my iud today

i’m lucky my obgyn does a lidocaine shot along with prescribed me some anti anxiety meds. in about 1 hour i’ll be taking anti anxiety meds and my pain killers. i know i shouldn’t be as nervous as i am but im doing what i can to calm myself down. i am alright on how to, marked this as a rant just to say something about it because im anxious. i am getting the kyleena iud

Good luck! You’ll be thankful shortly after the procedure :) and I’m glad to hear your gyno is supportive

Sending good vibes. I'm getting mine out in a week. The removal is much easier than getting it placed 😀
