I will be talking about female issues, so if you don't wish to read about them, don't read any further


I have had a Mirena IUD for at least 4 years, and no periods in that time, occasional light spotting. Now, I am getting heavier spotting and don't yet know if it'll be a full blown period. Obviuosly, I need to see my gynecologist, but what do I say to her when she sees all of the scars I have from cutting?

I have a bunch of scars on my stomach, a few on my arms and a few on my legs.

I don't want to get a lecture about mental health stuff. I already have providers for that that lecture me non-stop.

So what do I say? What do I do? This gynecologist has been seeing me for about 14 years (But not sinc she inserted the iud because the scars got harder to hide so i din't go back...

Edited to add:
Why is it, that i have gone from No spotting in motnhs to needing full protection right now?? Really, just AFTER i took my sleep med, and now cannot get anywhere to buy my feminine products.....
