I cannot tell you where to go, but I can say that the Georgetown hospital turned down my request for anything like this. So probably avoid there?

Fun fact, that may be little known, Georgetown University and Hospital are Catholic affiliated, and Catholics are not fond of birth control.*

*As this is Reddit I feel I need to specify that it's the "Catholic affiliation" part that may be little known. Not the "Catholics hate birth control" part.

I'd also like to add that Georgetown University Health Center hasn't always been so great about granting their students full access to emergency contraceptives (Plan B). And yes the Catholic affiliation deffo plays a role in that.

I’m shocked they would insert an IUD at all — I was told they couldn’t for that reason. (I will say, though, that I’ve had nothing but amazing experiences with the high risk (maternal fetal medicine) obgyn practice there and labor & delivery!)
