I went and got the IUD.

Not gonna lie, probably the most painful experience of my life. I’m hurting, and I went to my moms and laid on her couch because I’m sad.

Her dog (who I’m for some reason extremely bonded with) walked over to me out of nowhere and put his head directly on my stomach like he knew that’s what was hurting.

On god, we do not deserve dogs.

If you’re looking at getting the IUD, I will share the whole experience in detail in the birth control room. Just ask. I could not for the life of me find a detailed story about what getting one is like, so I’ll share.

It fucking hurt but I don’t regret it. 15 minutes of pain to be childfree for 6 years.
