No one will remove it!

vinotinto88 · 19/05/2020 09:49

So long story short - we are hoping to TTC our third and final baby.

It's pretty much now or never - certain work opportunities and home finances etc, plus my age. And I'm so broody it's unreal.

My GP won't remove my implant, no clinic within a 20 mile radius will remove my implant.

I've called and hassled and nagged everyone. The last person I called said it'll be well over a year before their clinic is up and running again.

I know this is totally a first world problem. And it's more a whinge than seeking any kind of solution. I just had my heart set on it.

Has anyone else up and down the country managed to get their contraception sorted?

Yes local GPs are stretched actually which is why they aren't booking unessesary appointments!!

Who cares if Im not the best at typing. I have something called common sense which generally I use before making a huge decision like breeding during a bloody pandemic

Goodbye.

Madame i'm sorry but our resources our really stretched with dying patients

Lol yeah I'm sure the bodies are really piling up in her local GP's surgery.

peperethecat · 26/05/2020 18:50

And also, lol @ you wanting people to respect your "opinoun" when you can't even spell the word or express one without resorting to personal attacks and obscenities.

By the way, I hope you teach your unfortunate child better manners than you are displaying on here.

peperethecat · 26/05/2020 18:47

And I'm saying that as someone who has no children and is not currently pregnant but would very much like to have a child, which apparently makes me more righteous than you according to your own scoring criteria.

It really makes me blood boil when I see people who are already pregnant or already have kids up on their high horse about how people shouldn't TTC in a pandemic and that they personally wouldn't have dreamed of being so selfish and would have put their life plans on hold for the greater good.

Aye, like fuck you would have, you sanctimonious bellends.

Mummatobe2020 · 26/05/2020 18:42

I'll have what ever opinoun I bloody want. Not begrudging stating the absolute facts. Yes Im having a baby, my first child, I don't already have two and planning a third!! I conceived when the NHS wasn't under such a huge strain and I haven't drained any resources or the time of any valuable health professionals in the process.

I won't apologise for my opinoun - actually I think she's selfish and absolutely would not hurt to wait to have to proceedure done.

peperethecat · 26/05/2020 18:38

Yes exactly, you are getting your baby so don't begrudge someone else the opportunity to have one. Idiot.

But is this really a priority is it really that important right now?

It is a priority for the OP.

And if you really are a "Mummatobe" in 2020 then you really are not one to talk. Mind your own damn business.

SirSamuelVimesBlackboardMonito · 26/05/2020 18:25

Expecto Patronum!

SirSamuelVimesBlackboardMonito · 26/05/2020 18:24

Go away.

Mummatobe2020 · 26/05/2020 18:18

Now I'm not trying to be mean here. But is this really a priority is it really that important right now? In the grand scheme of things we are in a pandemic and TTC right now is somehow top of the NHS's agenda? I somehow think not. They could be better used helping sick patients etc, you know dealing with this virus.

This is top of your agenda,but the doctors and nurses have to priotise appointments etc by urgency and rationally.

I wouldn't say your desire for a third child is high priority - Sorry OP.

Also you already have two lovely children. Why not enjoy those? And when it is safe to do so and the NHS resume non urgent appointments and treatments again then you can try.

It's not like your a first time Mum going through IVF or will struggle to concieve if you just wait a little longer. The strain on doctors etc at the moment must be horrendous.

lucymagoo · 26/05/2020 18:13

@Lonelylockdown22 that doesn't mean other people's problems don't exist. She's allowed to talk about herself and her implant on a forum about women's contraception and sexual health

SirSamuelVimesBlackboardMonito · 26/05/2020 17:47

Oh bugger off.

Lonelylockdown22 · 26/05/2020 17:37

Unfortunately you sound really self absorbed and I think previous posters reminding you that there's a global pandemic going on are completely justified. People aren't getting life saving chemotherapy, thousands and thousands of people have died alone without their families. Getting your implant out REALLY is not a priority.

peperethecat · 26/05/2020 17:34

Haha well played!

What did he say about taking it out?

SirSamuelVimesBlackboardMonito · 26/05/2020 17:31

Hurrah!

vinotinto88 · 26/05/2020 15:27

So he called. Went allllllllll around the houses about maybe doing it maybe not maybe he can but not sure when. In the end I said "how easy is it to remove myself" and without thinking he told me alllllllll the ins and outs of removing and it's very simple and safe etc etc.
Then he realised what he had said as I responded "oh well maybe I'll give that a go then".
He then said he would call me back.

And he just has - and it's coming out next week 👍🏻 TTC journey here I come!

That is promising news! Finally!
Yes, tomorrow! Here's to hoping.

CaribouCarafe · 26/05/2020 13:39

Congrats, and well done for persisting! Hope it all goes well for you .

Getting mine out was the best thing ever - within a week I felt less depressed. Also, my periods became normal again (rather than having nothing for months and then suddenly having a very heavy one)

He called and left a voicemail because I was ON ANOTHER BLOODY WORK CALL so I missed it. I was so frustrated.
I called back and he was not available - but the voicemail was hopeful. He said he can do it but I will need to mask/gown up beforehand and he wants to "minimise talking" so wants to discuss it with me first.
I'm quite happy to wear a Mr Blobby suit and keep my mouth shut at all times 😂
So now I'm waiting for another call back. Fingers crossed.
Did you get a date for yours?

OP posts:

YellowPenny · 26/05/2020 12:18

It's also true what PP have said! When I was on the phone I wash pushed the coil as well, had to say no three times!

"Oh but it.. are you sure because.. I think you should"

I'll never get any contraception that I can't stop myself. Fingers crossed for you today!
