No one will remove it!

[vinotinto88]

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?

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.

Oh bugger off.

@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

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.

Go away.

Expecto Patronum!

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Oh bloody hell @Mummatobe2020. If you are going to be nasty on someone else’s thread can you please sort out your spelling? Makes you sound, to use your own phrase, like a fucking turd.

Excellent news OP. Not entirely sure why the world has to stop - it hasn’t for government advisors....

like breeding during a bloody pandemic

Ah so you’ve made the decision not to have your child and stretch precious resources? As a pregnant woman, conception date not valid, you are still using precious resources others should also have access to. Or is it different for you, Mumma? 🤨

OK, let's make it simple for you.

1. GPs are not involved in treating coronavirus patients. If you have coronavirus you are either self-isolating at home and under strict instructions not to go anywhere near your GP, or you are in hospital and hooked up to a ventilator.

1. GPs are always overstretched. It's got fuck all to do with coronavirus. In fact, some parts of the NHS are considerably less stretched than usual (A&E, for example).

1. What other people do with their bodies and their contraception is none of your business.

1. Nobody on this thread cares about your opinion.

1. What are you even doing on the conception board if you are already up the duff? Bugger off and browse for baby onesie online or whatever it is pregnant women do.

Does that clear things up? (I really don't care if it doesn't but please still follow the advice in 5 above anyway.)

Congrats on finally getting an appointment for removal.
Shame on the other poster on here saying it’s not right TTC right now...who knows how long it’ll take for any of us TTC to actually conceive. No ones getting any younger (no offence anyone) and things will be ok in the end.
I’d be more concerned about your own situation because unless you’re having this baby on your own at home with no midwives then YOU are stretching the resources more currently.
When I had my implant out two weeks ago, the lovely nurses said to me that they’ve never been so quiet so I didn’t feel guilty and they’d asked me to come in, same goes for the OP.
Good luck with the removal and let’s hope for BFP to all those TTC during this pandemic because at least there will be something beautiful at the end ☺️

Yay congrats on finally getting somewhere op! I agree with @peperethecat. Its always galling when pregnant posters crop up berating others for trying to "breed". And then have the audacity to say how easy it is to wait. Some people dont have the luxury of waiting. Oh and also pandemic or not a woman has rights to body autonomy and that includes having foreign objects removed from her that she no longer wishes to be there.

So pleased it's coming out without you needing to slice yourself open, OP! Excellent perseverance, so glad it paid off. Ignore the naysayer.

Well isn't she charming - "common sense" and "breeding during a pandemic". Slightly hypocritical.

And not that I have to justify myself to anyone but my first two babies were not easy to have. And for various reasons it is now or never for us to complete our family. I'm certain I'm allowed to make decisions for myself, pandemic or not.

Anyway the support and kind words VASTLY outweighs the judgemental (incredibly flawed and very hypocritical) thoughts of another person.

Funnily enough it's a conception forum. Generally on here we want to conceive.

And THANKS EVERYONE! I'm so excited. I've found you all to be helpful, supportive and wonderful!
