Thought I would start posting a few past experiences.
In 1971, was married to an adventurous young lady (20) and I was 25. First marriage for both. Though hardly virgins.
Topic of family planning of course soon became urgent and as she did not find the then current BC pill formulas to be compatible with her hormonal balance, she went to her male doctor, who was not long out of graduating med school for a solution. This is in a small, somewhat isolated community with limited choice of physicians.
Tried diaphragms and condoms, just a bit too mood breaking for us. Even though we tried playing with these a bit with me helping her insert and she rolling it on. Fun for a while but not a lot of variety.
What was arrived at was eventually, was IUD insertion. First the Dalkon Shield which looks like a crab with little spiky retention "buds" to help hold it in place within the uterus, and then when that caused some bleeding and pain, tried "the coil", which was better but still occasionally uncomfortable for her. I can't remember any other IUDs though maybe there was a copper coil or loop??
What I'm getting at here in this post in this forum is the experimentation with the IUDs became a reason to go visit the doc and that naturally meant full pelvic exam. She actually seemed to like to go to have this done and I think made some excuses to go such as "I feel a bit of cramping and maybe it has moved so better have it checked" .
When I was told about the appointments, she usually had a bit of a smile on her face like anticipation.
She continued this pattern for about a year with monthly visits for readjustments, funny thing was we were seldom billed for the readjustments which was good since we couldn't afford all of them anyway. So it did not take me too long to figure out some need of hers for med fet play was being fulfilled by the IUD install and uninstall visits. And no, I didn't try to stop the visits since it was her health and our family planning I was most concerned about.
Definitely an adventurous type woman, more so than I realized when I met and married her.
Perhaps someone else has some experience with contraception as an excuse for frequent real doctor or play doctor visits?
