vaginapaginaI went to Planned Parenthood today to get an IUD inserted. My fiance took me there, and I was very, very nervous and wanted him to be in the room with me. The nurses refused to let him in. One of them was like "Don't worry, I'll be in the room with you!" and I thought "gee, thanks... but I don't even know you..."
It turns out they were unable to dilate my cervix enough to get it in today. There's another doctor who will be in on Thursday who is "good at dilating cervixes (cervices?)", so I am going back.
My fiance and I would very much like to both be there. Is there a particular rule against me brining someone in with me (or against them not letting me bring someone in), or is this just up to the doctors/nurses? Anything I can do or say to allow him in with me?
--------
On another note, I do want to comment that I am disappointed with Planned Parenthood's administrative staff. They've overcharged me twice- today for my IUD they almost charged me *double* the price, and I flipped out and told them how I called 3 times to verify the price because they overcharged me last time and I was cautious... after I refused to pay double the price, they called another office to double check, and apparently I was right to begin with.
I don't know if this issue happens in all their offices, but it's happened to me twice so far.
