Could I have a private post please.
Went to the doctors today to have my implant removed & with my last they just took it out no questions. However, today I saw a different doctor and she asked me why I wanted it out then looked at my 2 boys (I had to take them with me as no childcare.) I felt on the spot and a bit judged so just said oh it’s been giving me trouble, she then started saying she wouldn’t take it out and I had to go for scans first. I was persistent in saying no I want it out today and then said me and my partner are ready for another baby (which we are but didn’t say that in the first place because of the way she already looked at me!) & made out I felt anxious coming for the removal and so just wanted it over and done with. Her response was ‘without sounding patronising, with you having anxiety and having 2 small children already do you feel like you have appropriate housing and things for another?’ (My children are 5 & 1)
Me & my partner both work, I wouldn’t even be considering another if we couldn’t afford it or didn’t have enough room in our home for another!
Anyway.. in the end she handed me over to my usual doctor and she removed it for me as it was written down in the first place my appointment was to remove a coil and so she didn’t have the correct equipment in her room.
As she was asking all this she was also typing on the computer, god knows what!
Just wondered if anyone else has come across this and whether they think it was quite intrusive of her?
Worries me what she’s wrote on my notes!!
Sorry for the long post! X

I don’t know why some doctors are so weird about taking the implant out? When I was 16 I had one in and was bleeding for 3 months straight because of it, not spotting but really heavy so I asked for it to be taken out and a different doctor saw me (one who had been very rude to me on a few occasions) and told me point blank she won’t be taking it out as she can’t “trust me” to use other contraception! I was like what does it have to do with you who or what I do 😂 so in the end I had to go to sexual health clinic and they took it out for me, it’s a joke tho. The way I see it, it’s our body and what we say goes with our OWN body!
That’s a disgrace! Who is she to determine whether you are financially stable to have a baby or not? It is your own personal choice and you should be able to get your implant removed for whatever reason no questions asked. It’s part of having your own reproductive freedom which is to be able to choose when you want to get pregnant free from judgement. I would complain about that doctor to the clinic she was acting very out of line with you
Takes me back forty years when doctors used to say to you “now mother, what are you going to do about no more babies! ” this was after my first
What a cunt! I would ring ur dr and put in a big fat complaint! Who is she to ask u questions like that??!
I would put in a formal compliant in, they have no right asking you anything or telling you what to do. Good luck x
U can request yoir notes hun and look thru x x see of she has put anything x x I’d not let her attitude worry you x you know your ready you’ve obviously thought about it before hand x good luck with trying hope this Xmas your main gift is knowing your going to be a mummy for the 3rd time !!! X x x
whats it to her? its your body and your decision! id put in a formal complaint!
You should’ve asked to see what she had written down, she couldn’t say no as it’s about you x
Hate doctors like that
