"Many Women Find Getting an IUD Traumatic. Painkillers Won’t Fix That."

For NYT Opinion , about how doctors dismissing patient pain during IUD insertion would lead to shame and distrust of the patients.

Many thanks to AD Sam Whitney for the trust and directions

After the 2024 election, I hope Americans will realize it’s not pro-abortion vs pro-life. It’s pro women’s rights vs pro-birth.

People who are pro-birth don’t actually care about the lives of those children nor our women after birth—even a very republican fanatic of politics I know personally acknowledges this. This should not be a political decision nor a religious one, it’s a medical discussion, too. Doctors see thousands of women come in with life threatening complications and babies with serious, debilitating birth defects - who will be forced into a world of pain, then thrown into the depressing system that is American foster care.

60 sexual assault victims will be forced to give birth every day. Child victims too, are now forced to give birth. Recently a parentless child in Florida was denied an abortion because she was not “mature enough” to do so. Yet she is mature enough to carry, give birth to and raise a child? A 28 year old woman in Georgia was denied a life-saving abortion and died. A victim of rape, a child no less was denied an abortion by the court multiple times. Another victim, 10 years old, needed her parents take her from Ohio to Indiana to recieve care. Even if Trump voters don’t care about this and these victims don’t matter to them and continue to be natalists despite it all—they too will still be forced to carry unviable fetuses, forced to carry despite lethal infections, forced into death due to the endless complications that come with pregnancy and birth. Reps denying the facts retort that it will never happen, that they wouldn’t let women die. Meanwhile the rate of maternal deaths in Texas (the most restrictive state in this regard) increased 56% in recent years, comparing it to the 11% nationwide during the same time period.

it’s actually insane how it’s become a crime to give women rights to their health, their bodies, their future. It’s happening, it could absolutely happen to you, your friends, your family. This is only just the beginning of women’s rights being stripped away.

Throwback to a time when I used to reach for food to deal with stress—using it as comfort when things felt overwhelming. I was carrying an extra 60 lbs and didn’t realize how much my habits were weighing me down, physically and emotionally.

Fast forward to today, and now the gym is my go-to stress release. Now, in the middle of perimenopause, I’ve found that hitting the gym and fueling my body with the right nutrition are more important than ever. Moving my body, pushing through those tough workouts, and focusing on my strength has transformed my life.

But it’s not just about the workouts—fueling my body with the right nutrition gives me the energy to show up for myself, my family, and my clients every day, both in the gym and in life.

We all have our challenges—this is how I’m navigating mine. How are you showing up for you? 💪🏽🥗

Getting pregnant is a curse from having sex

Having your period is a curse from not getting pregnant

Being a woman is painful

Why would anyone ever want this

If IUDs are revolutionary, does that mean the yoke of side effects is equivalent to the vivisection experience of having them inserted and removed over and over again? A visceral contract of hormonal fluctuations and pain for the sake of it not being your baby?

Some Warnings For Birth Control

I just recently started birth control and I’ve been doing a lot of research on it so that I can keep track of my symptoms and what not. I had extremely painful periods and needed the birth control or else I’d be throwing up, shaky, and all sorts of other bad things.

Anyways, I started looking into depression prevention methods for myself. I’ve had depression many times before and I know birth control can cause it, so I’m taking preemptive measures. While I was looking at the article I read, I found out that not only is birth control an inflammatory, but it causes vitamin depletions.

These nutrient depletions could be an underlying cause to so many peoples’ depression when they take birth control. I’m angry that this isn’t in the normal list of symptoms and that I have to specifically look for it. I searched it up after I saw it in the article and it’s completely true! I’m pissed that this has to be specifically searched up when it should be listed in the symptom list. People knowing about this could not only make them healthier, in terms of vitamins and nutrients, but make them healthier mentally, even if they’re not taking birth control.

The vitamins, acids, and minerals that are typically depleted are vitamin E; vitamin C; Vitamin B2, B6, and B12; magnesium; folic acids; zinc; the amino acid tyrosine; and selenium. I went and gathered a list of foods that would help keep these vitamins, minerals, and acid levels mostly normal (but I would recommend supplements if you can’t have any of these). I recommend doing your own research and figuring out what is best for you; I’m not a doctor and I’m certainly not a dietitian.

Vitamin B2: Almonds, whole oats, whole grain barley, quinoa, wild rice, soybeans, beef, salmon, pork, spinach, avocado, eggs, collard greens, romaine lettuce, milk, legumes, chicken, turkey.

Vitamin B6: Chickpeas, beef, turkey, brown rice, potatoes, chestnuts, salmon, poultry, milk, carrots, spinach, green peas, bananas, avocado.

Vitamin B12: Salmon, Yogurt, eggs, nutritional yeast, cheese, pork, milk, beef, chicken, turkey.

Vitamin C: Oranges, lemon, brussel sprouts, mango, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, cauliflower, tomatoes, cantaloupe, broccoli, strawberries, mustard greens, pineapple.

Vitamin E: Almonds, broccoli, hazelnut, asparagus, pumpkin, mango, peanut butter, spinach, pine nuts, mustard greens, tomatoes.

Magnesium: Almonds, pecans, spinach, black beans, avocado, cashews, pumpkin seed, chia seed, potatoes, leafy greens, brown rice, peanuts, yogurt, salmon, dark chocolate, tofu, bananas, legumes.

Zinc: Beef, pork, chicken, pine nuts, peanuts, cashews, almonds, legumes, seeds, dairy products, oats, black beans.

Selenium: Pork, beef, chicken, eggs, Brazil nuts, salmon, grains, turkey, brown rice, sunflower seeds, lentils, baked beans, oatmeal, spinach, milk, yogurt, pistachios, bananas.

Folic Acids: Broccoli, Brussel sprouts, cabbage, kale, spring greens, spinach, peas, chickpeas, kidney beans, legumes, asparagus, eggs, beets, citrus fruits, bananas.

Tyrosine: soy products, chicken, turkey, fish, peanuts, almonds, avocados, bananas, milk, cheese, yogurt, cottage cheese, lima beans, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds.

You can take prenatal supplements that will give you a good dosage of all of these! There are supplements for people who need them and we need to be aware of what the doctors aren’t telling us. People who take birth control are more likely to become depressed or suicidal, even more so in teens, so this needs to be known. I don’t care if it stops 1 or a 1000 cases of depression/suicide because even if it helps prevent 1, just 1, then EVERYONE needs to know. This could save someone, even if it doesn’t seem like a lot or doesn’t seem that serious.

What each vitamin, mineral, acid does for your body:

Vitamin B2: important for the growth, development, and function of the cells in your body, energy production, and metabolism of fats, drugs, and steroids

Vitamin B6: important for normal brain development and for keeping the nervous system and immune system healthy

Vitamin B12: helps keep blood and nerve cells healthy. It's also essential for DNA synthesis, red blood cell formation, and converting food into energy

Vitamin C: needed for the growth and repair of tissues in all parts of your body. It is used to: Form an important protein called collagen, used to make skin, tendons, ligaments, and blood vessels

Vitamin E: vital for vision, reproduction, and the health of the brain, blood, and skin

Magnesium: better sleep, increased energy levels and improved mood, helps the heart maintain a healthy rhythm and is involved in the regulation of blood pressure and cholesterol production

Zinc: helps your immune system and metabolism function, important to wound healing and your sense of taste and smell

Selenium: reduction in cancer risk, cardiovascular, Alzheimer's disease, thyroid disease, and beneficial effects on reproductive health and fertility

Folic Acids: helps your body make new cells, reduces your risk for heart disease, stroke and some types of cancers

Tyrosine: essential component for the production of several important brain chemicals called neurotransmitters, including epinephrine, norepinephrine, and dopamine. Neurotransmitters help nerve cells communicate and influence mood. Tyrosine also helps produce melanin, the pigment responsible for hair and skin color

^This is just a basic list and does not include everything that these vitamins do. Remember to always do your own research, I may not have had everything right!

Idk I just feel like maybe joe who works part time at auto zone and is still searching for the clitoris shouldn’t really have an opinion on women’s bodies but maybe that’s just me
