So, if the 3-month one shows progress, I'd be able to wait for 6 months. If it doesn't, then I'd have another one in 3 months. She said she'll prescribe me a diazepam before each of them like she did for when i get the iud. i still don't like this one bit but at least the biopsies are not 4 times a year for 5 years or however long it's in and it's preferable to getting cancer.

Possible trigger:

Artie, while the insertion of the IUD was extremely painful, and it was traumatic for me to have the device in me, I would have left it there except for the fact it slipped down. My need for the IUD was different than yours, too. I was doing it to prevent pregnancy, not to treat a health condition. I think you should trust your wise-mind about all your options and which one you choose. And just remember, you can have it taken out whenever.

It's okay to be full of anxiety right now. I think as someone said, this is about something so important as your health and its something that you cannot completely control. The anxiety makes sense.
