a student inserted mine and it was her first time and she didn’t tell me what she was doing at all and unfortunately i’ve been thru some shit so her putting in the speculum without warning was one of the most triggering experiences of my life i don’t wanna be dramatic but like the insertion traumatized me it’s been a year and i still get so freaked out and shaky and anxious and almost cry sometimes thinking about it and im so scared the removal will be similar like i cannot do this again

Let your doctor know about your previous experience and ask them to tell you what they’re about to do each step of the way. Fwiw, removal is usually less painful and less invasive than placement. There will be a speculum, but if the strings are where they should be, they should be easily gripped and pulled without needing to grip or pass your cervix. You got this! Do you have/need a birth control plan post-removal?

i def will! i haven’t checked for the strings at all because i was too scared to 😭 i cannot handle having something inside my body like this that’s half the fear and im so glad it’s going away today. post removal my plans are use condoms for a bit until i find another version that works with me. i cabt do the pill cuz im never on time and the shot makes me hurt 😭
