Annual Well Woman Exam

I called the day before begging help before my next period. Jamie got me an appointment the next day. I was able to get my exams and talk about birth control options that shut off periods. They removed a polyp that was causing bleeding. I have an appointment to get an IUD when my period starts and approval from my insurance. I could not have asked for better results.
