i knew it wouldn't be as simple as just asking once and immediately setting up an appointment for it but it still feels bad

Can you just go to planned parenthood instead of talking to primary care?

i guess its worth a try. i did get my current bc from them and it was a great experience, minimal runaround

Yeah I hope it helps. I don't think just being planned parenthood will mean the doc is good, but it's a better chance. Wishing you the best

Planned Parenthood is great for its relatively-low-barrier-of-entry.

When I got HRT they were very "no questions asked, but also this is such a mysterious and possibly Dangerous Drug, and we will need a lot of blood from you". Which is a lot better than the experiences I heard to expect from anywhere else!

The childfree subreddit on the other site used to have a list of doctors on their wiki page that wouldn't give you the runaround about getting your tubes tied. I'm not sure if it's still there, but if so, it may be worth seeing if your city / a nearby city is on the list, and reaching out to one of those doctors! Don't let one "no" hold you back.
