I wasn't actually very excited or even planned to get a birth control. No, I am not against it; in fact I am actually for it but never really thought it will be for me. I am 28 years old, going 29 in January. I want to have babies. And birth control won't help achieving that.
Unfortunately, I was struck by sickness at my prime baby years. I was suppose, or was planning to get knocked up now that I am 28, since we had a go signal to the possible grandmother-to-be that she could be a granny by the time she is 40. She is now 40. But I can't have my baby. Not just yet.
Yesterday, I went to my very first family planning appointment. Got my no no parts checked. My boobs checked for lumps. I even had a paps smear. My nursing aid or what ever she was, was amazing! She was very gentle, very warm and welcoming. I am ticklish so I laughed when she touched my breast. I laughed when she touched my inner thigh when she checked it for lumps as well. I laughed when she checked my abdomen. And she said sorry all the time. Lady, I was laughing, I wasn't crying.
The lady also did a paps smear, hopefully it comes back normal. I don't need another sickness at the moment. My body have enough. It's hard you know. Not being able to do what you want to do because you are feeling bad. Or you want to try out something and you can't because it's not advisable. I want to go somewhere but I can't because of almost every other week of doctors appointment. Oh well.
I was able to get my contraceptive. I got Depo-Provera, which a shot that I am suppose to get every 12 weeks. Although my doctor advised that I either get IUD or an implant, the family planning center usually lets the patient try out first time patients the type of contraceptive they would prefer. Since I prefered shots that's the one they gave me.
I hope I won't gain weight because of the shots. I will be trying so hard to eat healthy. Need to get in a gym soon.
Wish me luck. Will add more information soon...
