I am frustrated with life at the moment. I went a doctor appointment yesterday for what I thought was a bladder infection. Well long story short I ended up having an ultrasound. turns out my mirena IUD birth control slipped. It traveled up inside my uterus and punctured one of my muscles. The pain I have been experiencing due to the IUD slip is excruciating. My doctor told me I had to see a gynecologist to get it taken out as soon as possible.
I called an obgyn office today and because I have no health insurance they agreed to take it out for $210. I asked about getting another one put in, and they said they can't unless I pay $1000 up front. That is something that I can not do.
I am buried in debt now. these last few days between my hospital bill, doctor bill, ultrasound bill, and my soon to be IUD removal bill I am drowning! My credit score is going to plummet. I realized now how essential health insurance really is.
I am by no means ready to have a child, but without health insurance I wont be able to afford the type of birth control that works best for me. I am experiencing an emotional break down today. Between crying or getting mad I just want to feel better and find a way to receive the birth control I need.
It is times like this I wish I had my family around to give me good advice, or just be there to support me. I do have my boyfriend but he is gone most of the day. Tomorrow he is taking a day off of work to take me to the doctors appointment, which I am grateful for.
Hopefully tomorrow goes alright, and I wont need to have it surgically removed.
