Texas OBGYN?!

I knew the laws and culture when I moved here, but was just in shock about my contraceptive appointment today. I’ve been on Depo since my 6 week postpartum check. That’s ALL I WANTED. I was lectured for about 20-30 minutes about being one and done by a man. “You’re so young, your husband should not be getting a vasectomy. Regret is super high.” Okay great that affects you in zero way and what does that have to do with my shot?! Then he tried to get me on the IUD instead, saying the procedure is PAINLESS. Which I know it is not from the many women who speak on it. Take my money, stab me, and let me go home.

I live in TX and just know you’re not alone! I’d ask for a new doctor 😒

@Alaina this was temporary while we wait to get our insurance out here cause they take care credit, so hopefully I’ll have more options in the future! I was just shocked. Plus the contraceptive was 3x the cost than in California.

Ita not just Texas. I was in MO and my 6 week appointment was a male doctor trying to get me to get an IUD... "it only hurts for a second. Most of my patience say they can't feel it..... oh it only moves if it's not out in right. I've never had issues...). My guy, I walked in saying I didn't want BC. SO annoying. At.least he didn't mention my husband thank God

@Racheal we need to start asking them if they want their cozy vasectomy’s

I’m in Texas and this has never happened to me or anyone I know. Find a new dr or midwife

That is so inappropriate!! And uti insertion definitely hurts lol - they should honestly provide anesthesia for it but they minimize it and call it a “pinch” because women’s pain is not taken seriously. Very glad this is just a temporary provider for you, hope your new doctor is better!
