Healthy Sex Support Group
This community is dedicated to an open discussion about healthy sex and sharing thoughts and feelings about sexuality and improving one's sex life. Most active adults desire to have an active and fulfilling sex life, both for themselves and also their partner. Here we discuss common sexual challenges faced by both men and women.
I've been gone for a while guys and I just wanted to share with you all WHY. I've been very ill for the past couple of weeks.
It started when me and my boyfriend were having sex. I had this awful pain and we had to stop, when we did I was dripping blood and hunched over in pain. I wasnt on my period so it freaked me out a bit. After that I began bleeding non stop for about a week with a lot of pain. I was unsure what was happening so naturally I made a doctors appointment. When I got there I told them about my pain and then told them that I suspected it was my birthcontrol even though it wasnt supposed to cause any pain and I wasnt even supposed to feel it. after I told them about my problem they told me they wanted to run a few tests to see what was going on. I then found out that my IUD could be out of place and IF it was it could be a big problem because it COULD puncture my uterus. OR it COULD even be attatched to my uterus and need to be surgically removed.
First they did a pregnancy test, then a blood test because they were worried about my blood level. Then after that they told me they wanted to do an ultra sound.... After the ultra sound...After the ultra sound they asked me if it was alright to do a vaginal ultrasound. I agreed and It hurt because I couldnt even have sex, couldnt even put anything in my vagina without pain. After that ultra sound they did a pelvic exam and told me that my body is rejecting my IUD. They also told me this is common for women who have never had a kid and who are under the age of 20...I was never informed of this before I had it placed and I DID ask for the risks of it...They told me that my IUD was making me sick and I need to have it removed as soon as possible. I have an appointment to have it taken out in a couple of days but until then I have a lot of pain despite the pills they gave me.
If anyone is considering getting an IUD... consider something else and spare yourself the pain....

You should have been provided with ALL the medical information before you had this. Both positive and negative so you could make a solid, informed decision. Some medical professionals just don't do this.
Problems were poking holes in the uterus, causing fallopian tube pregnancies, and other problems I don't remember right now.
As I recall, removing them is not that much of a procedure.
I hope you start feeling better soon!
Have you looked into the depo Provo shot? Google both positive and negatives. What do your friends use?
Anyone else have advice? I'm past the need for birth control lol
