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....

Check the side effects first..
Is the diaphragm still in use or am I dating myself?

You don't like the pill? There's many options out there, some with a lower dosage of hormones like the mini pill.
I wanted to try the Depo provera shot but my Dr warned me a very common side effect of that one is bleeding in between periods, the patch it's also convenient unless you live in a very hot place and I think there's some weight requirements, not sure.
I've heard some horror stories about the yasmin and yaz pill, but so far that's the one that worked the best for me, I'm sure you will find another method that will be good for you, there's a lot of options available, and surely they won't cause you so much trouble, I'm so pissed off that you're going through this, and just because some idiot didn't give you enough information.
CRAZY!
So...are condoms and the pill out of the question?
Apart from getting punctured by the damn thing, having it somehow get into the wrong area, there are other concerns.
I would also suggest people avoid them.
Obviously condoms are another option with few side effects. Used with a diaphram and spermacide it's pretty effective.
Take good care of yourself.
Eventho I'm personally against birth control for women, I was considering some form of birth control due to a recent unplanned pregnancy. I'm totally against the pill & the shot due to all the side effects I've heard about; continuous bleeding with a chance of STILL getting pregnant.
So, I was considering IUD or the coil. My TOP preference is the condom & it use to be my ONLY preference seeing that it's a barrier also for STDs.
But after reading your experience, I will stick with the condoms or abstinence. I hope your uterus goes back to normal & heals itself so that u may be able to start a family of ur own some day.
I've been thinking about what birthcontrol i'll be using from now on, the pill tends to make me sick and bloated so Im staying away from that and I think condoms are going to be the way to go if I can tell my boyfriend he HAS to use them. I do want to have kids in the next few years but I want to do it when im ready. I'll be 20 in june and i'm just not ready. Boyfriend is 23 and although he loves kids he just isnt ready neither. Just goes to show never decide on ANYTHING unless you are SURE you have all the facts
