Has anyone had IUD inserted 4 weeks pp?

Hi everyone. My hospital for some reason refused to put one in during the c section and didn't say it would be an option to have one within 48 h pp although this seems to be a thing according to the NHS website https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/contraception/when-contraception-after-baby/

I need to have a mirena IUD in ASAP to try to prevent my endometriosis coming back. GPs are clueless about endometriosis and I won't get an appointment with the endometriosis Centre for months (in the UK) so I plan to just get an appointment at a family planning centre for the 4th week pp.

I had an emergency section but never got to pushing stage so slightly worried the insertion will be even worse than before I had the baby as my vagina was not stretched.

FYI the family clinic will have me speak to a doctor before getting the IUD anyway so I'm not worried about not waiting for my 8 week check. I need to not let my endometriosis come back!!!

Also feeling fed up as got a UTI now, will be 3 weeks pp tomorrow 🙏. Thank god little man is so so cute. Looking at him is a painkiller.

Does anyone have any positive experiences to share? Thanks in advance!

Got mine 8 weeks after my c section you have to allow you body to heal your body just can't respond to the hormones of the coil that early because your still heavily contacting the muscles around the time so having a coil fitted that early it can mess your body up I get the whole endometriosis but the iud is something that can effect you body negatively if introduced too early 💕

One and done… or not?

32ftm. I’m starting to feel so much pressure to have another baby soon as I wean from breastfeeding so they can be close in age and be friends, but I don’t feel ready for pregnancy and newborn trenches again 😭 my husband and I are all we’ve got. Having just one baby without a village has been really tough. Am I being unrealistic wanting another one soon?

I'm so not meant to be a mother.

My kids won't listen to me get into stuff when they know they aren't supposed to. Telling me no all the time. Only listen to their dad. Laughs when I correct them. I spend most of my time yelling at them because they don't want to listen to me at all. My husband said that I shouldn't have kids. And I am believing him on it. I was never meant to be a mother now. I won't hurt my kids I just want to disappear and make everyone else's lives better without me.

Tests

So I had a blood test at the drs bc I keep getting positive tests when the blood test was negative what could this mean? Hubby says the tests are negative and said he can’t see anything. Negative image down below.

Am I pregnant?

I lightly spotted almost 5 days ago, which is not common for me before my period.
My period was supposed to come today. I should have tested in the morning but its 5:30pm.
Is there a second line??

Anyone have this happen before?

We were not trying to conceive, used protection and had sex on week 2 of my cycle (accidentally on my peak ovulation day). Week 3 we had Flu A. Week 4 my period did not come (it’s very regular). I tested and it was negative (2 different brands).
What should have been week 2 of my next cycle (now 6 weeks post last period), I had light red/ pink spotting for one day when I wiped. The following week, I tested again, still negative, but this time almost all the dye was in the negative space, which I’ve never seen happen before. The area where it shows one horizontal line for negative and a plus sign for positive, the horizontal line was super faded at the 3 minute mark, and the negative vertical line in the next window was VERY dark. Now I’m on week 8 of all this, period did not show up yesterday. Nothing in my life has changed (no additional stress, no other illness, no changes in diet or exercise, etc).

Has anyone gone through this and NOT been pregnant? I’m super nervous as we thought we were done having kids.

PS. I know I should go get a blood test, does anyone know if urgent care will do that? I’m past being convinced by a pee test.
