Ok
So... Some of you may have read the (rather amusing a diverse) thread on me going to get a diaphragm measurement today.
So, appointment is at 0935 which is not ideal for me on a late shift
but I was pleased to have been squeezed in.
Not called into the room until friggin 1040 - by which time I'm already pretty pissed about it
So I'm kind of wary about the whole thing tho toffeepops made me feel a whole pile better and laugh quite a lot
- anyhoo I go in and explain what I would like.
To be told by the dr "oh errrrm this isn't a cop-out but (so it's clearly a feckin cop-out)
I've not measured for one of them for over a decade" - there's me thinking "you're a friggin doctor earning a friggin fortune, you can I'm sure remember how to measure my fanjita"!
She then went onto tell me that they had binned their measuring rings cause it's so out of fashion to have a diaphragm these days
- sorry didn't realise there was fashion for contraception - i'm clearly behind with the times .
Sooooo she's told me the best thing to do is contact the family planning clinic.
So I'm like thanks for feckin nothing. Walk out and get straight on the phone to the family planning clinic. To be told again, "yes love it's very unusual to want a diaphragm these days" just get me a feckin measurement for a feckin diaphraghm.
She wanted to know what pill/how long etc I'm like 13 years on different ones, would like a bubba next yr and to get preggers later on this yr plz and thot it sensible to stop my pill now to give it chance to get out my system - she said and I quote: "the pill is out your system in 24-48 hours, you should be back to normal straight away you should just carry on taking it until you are ready ttc unless you'd like to get pregnant now" I then had to explain how o/h off to war and stuff and how now would be the worse time EVER to get pg, but want to prep the bod for it- she should read this forum and see how long it takes to get back to normal after the pill.
So after all that I got my bloody appointment - 1930 on Mond.
Maybe I'm old and cynical but is that not just a bloody disgrace when all i'm trying to do is be sensible (which is a miracle in itself)
Rant over
