Hey, so a couple weeks ago I had asked about using an IUD as emergency contraception (here).  In the end, I went with Plan B, despite already having had the IUD consultation.  So now, I'm roughly 75% sure I got knocked up.  After counting back the days, I'm fairly sure I had already ovulated before taking the Plan B (fuck).  Also, I had very, very light spotting today, 12 days after the sex in question--possible implantation bleeding.  But, I can't pee on the stick until Sunday*, which will be five days before my missed period.  My life is pretty kickass right now, and kids just aren't in the cards at the moment (even though I want an army of them... years from now).  My question is this:  If the test turns up positive and I schedule a surgical abortion, would the doctor, likely at Planned Parenthood, be able to insert a Mirena during the same visit?  Have any of you done this, and if so, were there any negative side effects from messing with your uterus so much at one time?  Mostly I'm looking for experiences, especially at Planned Parenthood.

Thanks, yo.

And to vent a bit, feel free to skip:  SHIT.  I only have sex like twice a year, just to make sure that my vulvodynia/vaginismus combo of doom didn't magically disappear!  It didn't, by the way, so if there's some fetus who's decided to hang out in me for awhile, it's not even like I got good sex out of the deal.  WTF, how did I let this happen?  I seriously hope they'll give me an IUD, I don't want to be in this situation EVAR again, plus, if some old white dude decides to take away birth control, I want something firmly planted in my uterus that they will literally have to rip out of me.  Also, can I rent a friend to come with me to the appointment?  I'm all alone in a new city and all I have to say is :(  Listen to me whine, vagpag!

(edited for weird typos and then again because I post too soon, always.)

*edit again:  I just opened the package and it says FOUR days on the inner instructions and FIVE days on the outer packaging.  Lies, I say to you, outer packaging.  Lies.

hell yeah! i will be more than pleased to squeeze out my first kid in 5 years... but not a moment until then. i am terrified that at the rate this country is going, i may not have many choices soon. hence my new mirena, which is seriously amazing. i am all set for 5 years, no matter what crazy laws are passed.

oh, and ps - not only was i allowed to bring my guy with me for my consultation, but he was also allowed to come in for the actual procedure.
