Good morning.
Um, I'm about to leave to go to the doctors.
We have three objectives for today.
The first thing at the doctors, I need her to sign
my disability parking placard form.
So I can get that.
Second, I need her to also prescribe medicine
because shocker, I have a UTI again.
Before you leave all your comments on tips
to prevent a UTI, I already know all of it.
I get chronic UTIs, so it's just something I gotta deal with.
But the main objective and the reason I am vlogging
today is I am going to be
talking with my doctor about changing my birth control.
I had made a video a bit ago
on how my current birth control, which is the patch,
has been effecting me negatively.
So I'm looking into IUDs.
I'm debating either a lower dose hormone IUD
or the copper IUD.
Which has no hormones.
But we're going to head to the metro
I think I might stop at Whole Foods
and get an energy bar.
So let's go!
I also want to point out, this is how you know
this is a disability bag.
I have my wallet, this is a headphone case.
My current birth control to show my doctor.
My water, my medicine, some bathroom wipes.
And my forms!
And my insurance cards are in here but
this is a disabled bag, for a disabled person!
(light hearted music playing)
I just got off the metro, and now I'm walking to the place.
It's like 14 minutes away.
Oh my god I have to pee so bad!
When you have a UTI and you have to pee, it's so painful.
I have to pee so bad!
But if I see like a Starbucks, I'm going to go in and go to the bathroom.
Because (makes grunting noises)
There was a Ralphs by the metro station,
so I got to use the bathroom.
(exhales) I feel so much better.
Okay, time to get to the doctor's office.
I made it! Cool, now I gotta check in.
So that last clip you saw was quite a bit ago.
It was little awkward to vlog once I got in the office.
But I will give you the whole re-cap.
So now shocker, I had a UTI.
My doctor prescribed antibiotics and then we talked about different IUDs.
We decided on Skyla, it's a little bit smaller.
Which she said would be a little less painful inserting.
She said it shouldn't mess with my mental state.
I also showed her the birth control I'm currently on,
of the patch.
And she was just like "No wonder you're having all these issues.
This has so many hormones in it."
So we decided on Skyla.
But first she wanted to do a few little tests so
along with the urine sample that I gave
for my UTI, she tested me for chlamydia and gonorrhea.
I tested negative, as I expected.
Because my partner and myself, we're both clean.
So where we are now, on the 15th
I'm going to go back in and I'm going to get a pap smear.
Because apparently I'm very overdue for a pap smear.
And then in that same appointment, I should be getting my IUD.
So that's kinda like your quick update.
I will vlog the process as well for the next appointment.
I'm not going to vlog inside the actual doctor's room.
But you'll get before and after, so we're almost there.
We're almost there, oh I forgot to mention!
Um, she took me off the patch but she has me right now on these
little chewable pills.
These are pretty gross to taste but
um, I can feel myself
returning a little bit to normal.
These still have hormones in it, but not as much as the patch.
Also a thing I learned, when you're on antibiotics
and on birth control,
you should wear a condom because
the antibiotics increases your risk of getting pregnant
a little bit more.
Even if you're on birth control.
So wrap it up when...you're healing it up?
What the fuck? That's not it.
Alright, that is my little part one of
this birth control journey of getting an IUD.
So I'll catch up with you next week.
bye!
