I’ve stopped seeing doctors in person for the same reason. I only do virtual appointments.

Can you do any alternative to the IUD after it’s removed? I’ve never considered one and did any other alternative I could. I have endometriosis so did birth control then hormone blockers when those stopped working. I had my tubes removed for birth control. At some point I’ll have my ovaries removed if the hormone blockers stop working. I’d rather just throw everything out than have to do an IUD. Medicaid had covered the sterilization entirely.

I’m sorry you’re dealing with this.
