I've been experiencing some issues with my body for a while now, and I'm finally getting to the bottom of it. At first, I thought it was just normal cramps or something like that, but after talking to friends who have had similar experiences, I realized that something might be seriously wrong.

My friend told me about her experience with an intrauterine device (IUD) that migrated and caused her a lot of pain. She said that she had to get it removed prematurely because it was messing up her body internally. Hearing her story made me realize that my symptoms might be more serious than I initially thought. I've been experiencing some heavy bleeding for about two years now, and not only have I continued to get my period every month, but it's been significantly heavier than usual.

I've also noticed that my period is longer-lasting than normal, almost twice the duration of what it should be. This has led me to believe that the IUD might have migrated and is causing all these problems. I'm excited to finally get it removed and figure out what's going on with my body. I've been trying to find a new doctor to take care of me, but it's not easy finding someone who accepts new patients at short notice.

I managed to find an appointment with a doctor in Sacramento who is covered by my insurance and accepting new patients. The doctor told me that once I have the IUD removed, I might experience some changes in my menstrual cycle, such as lighter periods or even the possibility of not having a period at all. However, this could take several months to a year for it to kick in.

In the meantime, I'm excited to finally get rid of the IUD and figure out what's going on with my body. I've been feeling increasingly concerned that the IUD might be messing up other parts of my body internally, so I'm looking forward to getting it removed as soon as possible.

I also needed to find a primary care physician (PCP) who can take care of me once I have all my appointments out of the way. My friend reminded me that at 30, I need to start taking more proactive steps in maintaining my health. I've always had insurance, but this is the first time I didn't have coverage from December to May. With my new insurance, I'm finally motivated to get all my appointments done quickly.

I managed to find a dentist who is part of my insurance plan, and we're going to schedule an appointment for teeth cleaning. It's funny how having insurance has given me a newfound sense of motivation to take care of myself. Suddenly, I was like, "Okay, I need to get all these appointments out of the way." It's been a long process so far, but I'm excited to finally be on top of it.

I finished getting ready for the day and wanted to share an update with you guys on this channel. We're always TMI here, and I just want to keep you guys in the loop with what's going on in my life. That's all for now; I'll catch up with you guys in the next video.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enthank you okay super cute Place highly recommend hey guys so wrapping up my day so end of the work day I decided to go get my hair done while I was finishing up all of my emails every day this week I worked from like 8 to 6 30 or 7 and so I was like okay I have like so much administrative stuff I need to do so I hit a few counts in the morning and then like needed to just do like admin stuff so I was like while I'm sitting doing admin stuff I might as well get my hair done so when I wrapped up my work day went there and dude I absolutely love it so I went to a gal named Sarah and she killed it so some differences I noticed right away about how she does my hair versus how my other lady did my hair was that she started the Balayage like way up here so my previous lady her Balayage always started around like this area and it would be like some would be like starting at different levels as well to kind of blend it and make it look more natural but this gal she started it way higher up and so it actually like gives the illusion of my hair overall being much lighter which I love I also love that when my hair grows out a bit it's gonna be you know so closer to the root versus when it was here and then it would grow out of it it would already like you know what I mean it would look super grown out a lot sooner so here having it start so high up I'm feeling like it's going to look fresh even longer so I'm very excited about that I love the color she didn't even have me pick the color she just had me show her pictures of some of the times I had my hair done and really liked the color it was and she just did her own little combo and it it's perfect it's literally perfect and it's a slightly lighter than I usually do which I honestly wanted and I did mention that and so she like killed it with that and then she did something called like a root tap so it prevents like I guess where the foil is or the foil's touching your hair when it's like bleaching or whatever it somehow gets like orangey or brassy or something like that so it helps prevent that I've never had that done before so that was something kind of new and different and I think that um I mean I think it was a combination of everything she did but it looks great and like as I'm looking through I see multiple different tones so I think that she somehow like Blended in different tones I don't know how she did it but it looks great I'm so happy and this Salon is so much closer to where I live now so loving that overall 10 out of 10 and I'm so happy so happy Friday I am done hey guys it's a bit later and I have washed the sheets done some cleaning around the house and I'm just feeling incredibly productive so we have about two hours before we're meeting up with my sister and her boyfriend we're gonna be doing a game night and then s'mores and yeah it's just gonna be really nice like summer night we have been having like the coolest weather because I guess there are a bunch of fires in Canada so it's pushing down the cool air I'm talking like I know how weather works but that's what it's saying online so assuming it's right but anyway we are having like abnormally cool weather for summer so it's incredible I'm loving it there's we the doors open right now I have this lovely Breeze coming in compared to usually we are nearing or already in the triple digits at this point in June so things are going great um we are about to take the pups on a walk and we decided that we are craving boba and we got this little like welcome to the neighborhood booklet with like all these like coupons and places places to try and all that because in the area there have been so many new businesses popping up so I do have my go-to bubble place in the area because again this is where I grew up however um now that there are new places super down to try them who knows maybe they'll be just as good or even better I don't know but I'm excited to find out so uh right now Darren is ordering online so that we can just go swoop by pick it up and then enjoy it while we walk the pups so that is the plan um very happy very excited feeling good today and it's Friday you hear the sniffling Darren has very aggressive allergies and this year is very challenging for him also I'm determined to keep the doors open to have this beautiful breeze so I'm also slowly poisoning him so that's what's going on and what you're hearing in the background most likely so yeah well you guys I was gonna say welcome back but we already we already kicked off the Vlog I've changed a bit kept the shirt change into workout pants lost the Blazer but um yeah well I guess welcome back to this part of the video okay all right let's get into it all right here we are let's give it a go all right so I got my drink Unfortunately they were out of like tapioca Boba balls so uh I got it with lychee jelly which I have never had before oh okay I need both hands we are gonna do a quick taste test thank you so what'd you get forget I got coconut milk tea with mochi oh you got the Mochi one yeah oh so they were um they said that their Boba wasn't going to be ready for like another hour hour and a half so we that's why we chose all the things that tastes really good really taste mine first excellent that would be really good with like boba in it mm-hmm oh the mochina it's confusing I feel like you'd like the Mochi because it has more of a I do I love Tums I love any whey protein that tastes like chalk that is my jam I love that so actually that was really good it's kind of confusing because I've never had something like that in a drink so it's weird it would take some getting used to but very good and I didn't try any of the jelly with it yet let me see if I can get down I know it's hard to get the Jelly in yours I didn't get any either but I know what it tastes like um good but I'm not sure the lychee flavor goes with they had all these flavors of jelly and I just didn't know what to do so I just picked one so I think I'd get well obviously the Boba the tapioca balls because that's what I really like but overall the milk tea portion excellent oh oops there we go all right we're gonna get going are you oh are you guys ready are you ready are you ready to go play yeah yeah we've got tail wax yes per usual it's a pull-a-thon got my drink I'm just trying to drink it but these pups oh my gosh I have it like wrapped around my body so that she can't just like yank me and it keeps her fairly close to me hey guys so it's now 7 30 and I'm a little sweaty because I cleaned the house did a bunch of laundry swept wiped everything down dusted like did the whole thing I mean full-on living my domestic housewife life and feeling good about it also I just finished uploading and then doing the thumbnail for the video going up tomorrow which was supposed to go up yesterday but you know um better late than never I finished editing it last night I think around like 11 p.m and then I had to export it so it exported overnight and then this morning first thing when I woke up I started to upload it so it's it's a whole long process but moral of the story I still wanted I still wanted it to go up in the morning so tomorrow's the day but it's a really fun video we're boating and we're trying an AI generated Michelin star worthy baked mac and cheese recipe and it's actually so freaking good like I would have never thought to include some of these ingredients that they included and it's it's excellent uh pups also got a bath while he was cleaning um Darren was the best team player and here let me show you so the puppies are all clean oh yeah yeah you my pretty baby hi hunties oh yes yes no one gets attention unless you are getting attention I understand so yeah they're drying off right now and so we always try to make a point to wash the pups and wash the bedding the same day because our sheets start to smell like dirty dog you know honestly like every five six days which is why we have to make sure we wash them like every five to six days so um I already washed the sheets earlier so although we were feeling very lazy we're like the dogs have to be clean today because I will die if we cleaned all the sheets and then they hop on while smelling bad and being dirty so uh how to make sure we did that feeling great that we did um ended up talking to my sister and I was like hey um you know we are running a little late Etc blah blah and um like how are you guys doing over there you know kind of filling out like are we gonna camp cancel are we doing it like where are we at and she was like oh you know my boyfriend just got home and he has to um get up at 4 00 a.m because um he he like buys properties and like develops them so he has one of the people um going to the house early in the morning to get started and he needs to make sure he's there and unlocks everything all that jazz so she was like I don't think he would be opposed to moving this like right old it is so we've opened up our night very excited we're like let's cook it home guess what we don't have groceries so I think we're in the grocery store um yeah we're real excited for our potential plans and then we realized that we have no opportunities in the fridge so for now we're gonna hang out for a bit enjoy beer Cheers Cheers happy Friday evening so we're going to enjoy this hang out for a bit eventually make it to the grocery store once we figure out what on Earth We're making maybe we'll get so lazy we'll find something in the freezer we'll see but I'll let you know so name of the game tonight is change the plans at every possible opportunity so now we're not going to the grocery store anymore we decided we're gonna go tomorrow and we're going to make burgers tonight we've decided no we're gonna make burgers tomorrow buy the pool have a full like sun like sunning day I was gonna say Sunday but it's gonna be Saturday and it's confusing when I have a yeah barbecue pool day so that's we're going to do tomorrow also we need more propane so we go to the store we're also going to refill the propane tank so tonight's we decided that we're not going to the store saving that for tomorrow so we decided that we're going to make a shrimp Curry so we have this vindaloo paste here let me let me let me Focus everything okay so we have this vindaloo Curry cake um curry paste um we got this at an Indian market but I think they do have some of these um curry spice paste at Raley's they don't have quite the variety but still they have it so we have that prepped here obviously we make everything our own so we add a little olive oil garlic butter um we're going to be adding lime or lemon juice and some tomato paste but we're going to be warming that up first where our are also going to have to add water so we've got some water here but we're waiting to prep the sauce because we have some rice cooking right now and then I'm also defrosting the shrimp so running it under cold water I turned off the water so that you guys wouldn't have to listen to that in the background but that is the plan I feel like okay there's like soap all over like suds all over the sink it looks like there's like sand in here I don't okay that looks weird but like it's clean I swear um so yeah that is the plan we're gonna keep making this and I'll show you guys when it's done I have very aggressively seasoned the shrimp and now I'm feeling like I should have seasoned them in like a bag or a bowl because originally I'm just gonna salt and pepper them and then I opened my mom's spice drawers and I just I have I was looking through everything she had and all the drawers next thing you know I mean we've got I've got some coated shrimp so yeah this is uh not entirely going according to plan so we just finished this smells amazing and got a little more beer so we just finished cooking it looks amazing and I cooked the rice perfectly the rice was the instructions were totally different than any way I've ever done rice before usually it's like 15 minutes on or like bring it to a boil 15 minutes on simmer and then 10 minutes um steaming this time it was bringing to a boil and then 18 minutes on simmer and just like leave it there and then it's done so I was a little skeptical but it worked out perfectly smells great looks great and yeah we're gonna eat so Bon Petit and yes I change yet again um PJ pants this time because you know we're progressively getting more leisurely um as the hours pass good morning and happy vanilla latte a clock I am doing the espresso shots right now although I will say it looks like an aggressive amount usually on the back they say like the ounces that looks like a lot for an espresso because if I do another one okay you know what I think I'm gonna try to make a latte with just this stuff right here and maybe just yeah maybe just one looks like that that's like that's a lot okay so basically found out that because we weren't really drinking the espressos despite the fact that the second layer is usually exclusively espresso I guess he recently swapped it out and put them all in this jar so the one that I grabbed although it was smaller than like a regular coffee this is like the five ounce coffee and this is like the seven ounce and this is the espresso so I was like man this thing is big but it's smaller than a regular coffee so I figured it was still some kind of espresso no uh three different types so now I'm making a regular one so now that's happening so now I'm gonna put the regular espressos here and put back and put back the coffee uh it's hard to get to the second layer with one hand oh there we go okay voila I added a little ice and this smells so good hey guys good morning so showered and I'm getting ready of course getting a call from spam you know how they have like do not call lists I am somehow on a like please call list it is ridiculous um finish the makeup and working on the hair a few random curls have survived overnight typically my hair I have to read you every day some people have like they can do their hair once and then it lasts for like three or four days I'm not the type I don't know how people's hair does how people's hair does that how their hair does that yeah um I have a few little kinks in here because I like clipped up my hair last night I like grabbed it like rolled it and clipped it and tried to prevent it from getting super Tangled because I only wash my hair every other day and so this is day two so we're not washing it so she's trying to get out little kinks that that created I don't want to super flat knit so I'm trying to go real quick and then I only straighten down to like where the curl starts uh but yeah so that's what we're doing um usually on day two I use dry shampoo so I got out my dry shampoo however I don't know what it is about whatever like shampoo they use at the hair salon but my hair just stays clean for so much longer why do I feel like I'm not focused here okay there we go ah that did not feel good okay hmm all right moving right along but I feel like when you get your hair wash at a salon it somehow lasts so much longer like how is that um and even like so I tried the new salon this time but even the regular Salon I go to and they use pureology which was one of the reasons I also purchased pureology because I was like I want the same effect um especially with like bleaching my hair and stuff I was like how marvelous would it be if I could go like three days without you know washing my hair um however still even at home even with pureology I can only do every other day and I still many days need dry shampoo on day two so hmm whatever I will just enjoy it but I am really liking what's going on here um I have no Rhyme or Reason to how I curl my hair honestly don't really know what I'm doing however at the end it usually still looks good so I've never really had to take the time to learn so oh okay so I didn't tell you guys yesterday that's why I brought you in because I wanted to chat with you while I get ready so yesterday I'm so proud of myself I made two appointments one made my Botox appointment yeah buddy because look we're getting the wrinkles we got that little those little lines right there if you heard that ignore my stomach it's grumbling I'm hungry um and my Scion's starting to get the crow's feet again and I'm just not here for it you know some people are into the age gracefully I'm into the avoid aging at all costs so um yeah haven't gotten Botox since like I think October so I'm definitely overdue um so just gonna go and get that spruced up that's unfortunately not for like two or three more weeks um that was when my lady had the availability and then I also what is what am I doing oh no okay nope I did not separate the hair properly to be able to do this curl right here I'm concerned about this one um but I also made an appointment with an OB GYN because why do I feel like this keeps popping out of focus there we go so I made an appointment with an OB GYN to get my IUD removed so in August it will be two years since I had an IUD placed I got the copper one and kind of the perk of it was that that one is hormone free and um it lasts up to 10 years because one of my concerns was that like with regular birth control or like if I were to like do the Depo shot or certain other iuds that have hormones when I want kids you have to like flush the hormones out of your system basically so you have to like wait a period of time before like your fertility goes back to what it was so I was like okay well I don't want kid at the time I was like I don't want kids right now but like I would like to have kids you know somewhat in the near future so um I decided to get the copper one when they placed it there's like this clamp thing that they do they accidentally clamped it on my cervix okay I was bleeding out it was a bloody mess it was the most painful experience I have ever had in my entire life and I continued bleeding for over a week afterwards it was terrible and I was in so much pain for I think like two or three weeks after this event I was told this would be a pain-free thing super quick like it was not it was incredibly traumatic like emotionally but also like physically so I was like all right you know what like I want to like keep this thing in until I want kids like tomorrow because this was terrible and like never again like I don't want to have to ever deal with this however since probably November December I've been having like pressure like right around like my lower like abdomen like where where it is basically I've been having like really sharp pains and pressure and it'll be sometimes for hours at a time sometimes days at a time and then it'll go away for a week or two and then it comes back and I am convinced that it has migrated and basically I've had two two or three friends who have had iuds who've had to have it removed prematurely because it migrated and it was causing them a lot of pain and hearing their stories it's very very similar to mine first I was like no it's something else it's unrelated like it's cramps or something um and then I was like okay no something's like actually wrong and but then I didn't have insurance so I was like okay well I'm just gonna wait so now my insurance is kicked in and so I've made an appointment to get it removed and I am so happy because I am actually growing increasingly concerned that wherever it has moved to it might be messing up even more stuff internally so I am concerned about that so I'm very very excited to be getting it removed um I was trying to get an appointment like ASAP and so I went on like my insurance has like an app that helps you find um in-network providers and I called like four different providers some moved to LA some aren't taking new patients some like aren't even at the office that it said that they're at so I finally found one after calling around for like an hour and that's like covered by my insurance and accepting new patients and is actually practicing in Sacramento so I was just like all right forget it it's not until beginning of July but like I'll take it like if I have time later I'll call around try to find an appointment at another place but in the meantime at least I have this appointment set so I'm finally going to get it removed I'm really excited about that oh and the other thing was they were like what are the other perks of this is that you won't have your period so um it might take a couple months for some people it's sometimes up to a year but it'll slowly like become shorter and lighter and you will eventually like not have your period um so I've had it for about two years now and not only have I not like have I like not stopped getting it I've continued to get it every month it has lasted almost twice the duration and is significantly heavier than it has ever been so that also leads me to believe that it's not where it's supposed to be so um yeah it needs to go it needs to go I'm excited to have it out and yeah very very very happy about that so the next thing I need to do is I need to find a PCP um part okay that sounded concerning primary care provider okay okay just need to clarify that um and get like my annual checkup and stuff and I was talking to my friend the other day and she's like yeah like you know uh because I'm 30 and you know you're you're different like checkups and doctors things and I was like you're supposed to do like special I just keep getting out of focus you have to do like special things when you turn 30 because I turned 30 in like three months so I was like uh okay well I probably ought to get that going so yeah we need to get our checkup we need to get teeth cleaning because we got dental insurance now I feel like I mean honestly I wasn't even this on top of it like I've always had insurance this is the first time that I did not have insurance and it was only from like December through May that I did not have insurance but through that short period of time all of a sudden I had this like insane motivation to like all of a sudden get all of my appointments out of the way so now that now that I have insurance I'm getting all my appointments out of the way so slowly but surely I am figuring out like whom I knew doctors are and making all my appointments it's gonna be so much easier once I establish like who my dentist is who my doctor is like who all these people are so yeah feeling good about that um and yeah so I'm just gonna finish getting ready here just wanted to pop in give you the inside scoop and uh yeah keep you up to date because you know on this channel we're TMI here I'm just gonna I'm just gonna keep you up to date with everything going on in my life all right guys I am ready for the day and this video has been long enough so I'm gonna go ahead and
