so the first time i went to the gynaecologist was before the first time i had sex. i had my first boyfriend back then, a cute guy, sporty with a nice smile, you know the type.

he had „waited“ for me already for a year, so my mother decided it was time for me to be protected. she booked an appointment at the gynaecologist in the city. an old guy, sweaty with bad breath, you know the type.

my mother did not believe in the pill, so she and the doctor decided it was better for me to just get a coil. let’s not forget i was a virgin.

they joked that the name of the product (Mirena®) slightly resembled my name, it must be a good choice. so i lay down, opened my legs and had the thing inserted.

my mother was happy, my boyfriend was happy. i did not bleed when we had our first time.
