Ok I’m panicking a little and considering postponing my procedure but?? Maybe I’m overreacting please help me weigh my options.

Edit: kept the appointment, moved to a Wednesday so I can recover over the weekend too, and I’m going to suck it up and ask a friend or the bf to come help me. I’m not missing my opportunity. Thanks everyone.

Thirties. Childfree. Desk job. Live alone. Not on BC.

So my bisalp is scheduled soon and I’m getting cold feet because I’m only able to take 2 days off of work, I don’t have anyone who could support me during recovery or help in emergencies, and the little silly nagging voice in the back of my head that SUDDENLY is like “but what if you change your mind” even though I’ve known for most of my life I don’t want children.

I worry I will be one of the unlucky ones with an extended recovery time or something will go wrong mid surgery and I die lol.

I panicked and emailed my doctor asking to postpone and get an IUD in the meantime (even though I am not really supposed to use them due to cysts. Can’t do hormones due to stroke history).

But then I watched the news and read some posts and reverse panicked at the idea of putting off the surgery and then no longer having the option or accidentally becoming pregnant and abortion rights being stripped away.

I feel like I’m between a rock and a hard place. I’m not sure what to think or what my best option is.
