So I finally had it done, they do it differently here, they doa vaginal ultrasound at the post partum here. They took blood etc said my red blood cell count was good. She kept asking if I was ok though, cuz the dr said ilooked pale but eh I dunno what is up with that. They looked at my ovaries and uterus wall etc with the ultrasound. She was sayign something about cysts but then said prob horomone inbalance cuz I was breastfeeding etc, so eh I dunno. Then she was saying when she was lookin at my ovaries that im about to be ovulating or pregnant. She asked if there was any chance of pregnancy and I was like well a teeny tiny miniscule little chance. Because she couldnt tell if it was ovulation or pregnancy. They did a pregnancy test there, it was negative. She told me by the looks of the wall of my uterus I should start my period in 2 weeks and if I havent started in 4 weeks to go back to do another preggo test. But eh im thinkin its probably ovulation. So hopefully my period comes in the next month. Jason got mad cuz we had to wait there an hr for the pregnancy test results. But omg I wished I had that dr when I was pregnant. She explained everything to me as she did it all. Said I healed really well too. And talked over the breastfeeding because I have stopped. Jordynne is doing much better on formula though, she doesnt cry and actually sleeps so eh I really tried. But the dr was telling me what to do so that my body doesnt keep producing milk etc. Id go into detail but I dont see a point but if u want to know just ask and I will tell ya what she told me. I healed up pretty well too she said, she was suprised btu she said with a 2nd child if u tore with the first it was less likely to tear with yer 2nd so eh.. Most likely im gonna get the pill. They have a 3 and 5 yr iud, the 3 yr causes heavy periods and cramping and the 5 yr she said can cause bad acne and u will spot the first 6 mths to a year. But with the pill cuz I have gallstones it can cause more stones but im not too worried about it since im gonna behaving my gallbladder removed prob most likely in may while my parents are visiting. Prob get ortho tricyclen ifi can or estro step wich I had with my son and had no problems. The iud just doesnt sound to fun and also she said with that I would get it from the clinic and take it out there to get it put in and they like to put it in when your on yer period since your cervix is slightly opened and it makes it not so painful that way. Seems gross to do it then lol but whatever floats there boat.

I have the 5 year (mirena) coil and it is brilliant I had spotting for the first month then had nothing. I would reommend it to anyone.

That's so cool they do an u/s. If they had done that when layla was born at my 8 week check up they would of seen I was pregnant again lol

I want that but im not so sure, so confusing. I might just get the pill for now until sometime later, because that I can get at the clinic here on base, the iud id have to get all the way out to regensburg to get it put in at the hospital. From what I was told anyway. They do paps at the clinic on base so I dunno why they wouldnt be able to put in an iud.

thats nice, as far as I know there isnt anything like that here that I know of.Our insurance covers anything but its a pain trying to get an appointment and then getting a ride there now since I have no car till I dunno when. Still confusing the coil would be better , but eh. I still got time to figure it out iguess lol
