I am so frustrated right now. My gynecologist insists on me having my period to get my Paragard placed. I literally have had my period this entire week and made an appointment Monday to get it placed because my doctor is out of town but guess what stopped? I’m going to have to wait another month! My question: Do you truly need to have your period? Should i lie and say that I still have my period on Monday but it’s my last day? This doctor’s office is pretty unreliable and I am afraid that next month, when I have my period again, the doctor will be out of town again, and I’ll have to wait again.
