honestly, it wasnt as bad as i thought it would be, but it was still pretty awful. the insertion was painful but i wasnt nauseous, didnt pass out, i was kinda thirsty and tired afterwards tho.
my nurse was also a trans guy too!! his name was pete and he was so nice and made me a million times more comfortable.
around an hour or so after the insertion was when i started getting really really bad cramps. typically, my period cramps are like a 5 or 6 but these were like an 8 in my opinion. the only thing thats helped so far has been tylenol (cant take ibuprofen for medical reasons) and heating pads--cant stress that enough: heating pads were the only things that helped. a couple hours after the insertion the pain was too much for me so i took so melatonin and slept it off.
biggest piece of advice, drink water and eat something beforehand, bring some water and a stuffed animal with you for support, and have the doctor talk you through the procedure. afterwards make sure you have a heating pad, some tylenol or advil, and if you can, sleep it off. call some friends to take your mind off the pain as well.

keep things casual and light-hearted, when i came out to my mom we were just sitting on my living room floor and i asked if she knew what the T of LGBT was, and went from there. if they have questions, answer them if you feel comfortable. i came out to one of my brothers beforehand (via meme) just to test the waters a little bit because my family is religious. luckily, i’ve been out for a year and it’s been great, but my dad took around 6 months to come around. if someone is not accepting, don’t hesitate to do the best thing for YOUR mental health. if that means not talking to someone for a while or cutting them off from your life, do what you need to do. be sure that you have people that have your back outside of your family, i don’t know what i would’ve done without my friends.
Best of luck!!
I think I'm going to come out to my family ahhhh

i haven't seen you the past couple days, i know our interactions are always brief--only lasting as long as the class we share at most--but i've missed you the past three days. i can't wait to make you blush tomorrow when i teasingly ask if you missed me. i know you must think i don't like you anymore because i've been quieter and such. i do still like you, and i hope you like me too.
yes, i just rewatched avatar, why do you ask
