So, as some of you may remember I recently had a trip to the hospital due to pain in my lower stomach and none period related bleeding, When I was there I was told that my IUD was being rejected by my body. After 2 years of having it. While I was there I was told that I shouldnt have had it put in because I am under 20 and never had a kid before so the doctors were confused as to why I even had it to begin with. I got it because I thought it would be the best choice for me since I don't react well to the pill. I was told that it was safe. Come to find out! It could puncture my uterus and since im under 20 and I HAVENT had a kid before the doctor told me that my body was likely to reject it.
ANYWAYS. I made an appointment to have it removed. When I got there they we poking my stomach and told me that tits likely that I have an infection and they can't removed it because if they touch it the infection could spread to my blood. So now i'm on antibiotics perparing my body to have the IUD removed.
I urge you to think about what can happen when choosing a birthcontrol dont take the doctors advice reserch yourself what you were told would be safe might not be. This has bee a very painful experience and the worst choice ive made.

the "medical jargon" out of the way, i'm sorry that you are going through this. technically, they are right about the infection stuff. best to play it very safe with that, as an infection in the blood can lead to problems in nearly every organ system in the body. in the meantime, just kick back, relax, and try to ignore the stupid advice of stupid doctors lol
thank you all for the responses I appreciate them all :)
what kind of doctors are you seeing?
It has been weeks, maybe months since you saw the doctor because of pain in your pelvic area. It seems kind of quackery on their part.
The IUD is very safe for some people, and not very safe for others. It's been around for over 40 years - and taken off then put back on the market a few times. I have heard more nightmare stories about it then not.
I have never heard about a body rejecting it because of not having children. I'm sure it could be a side effect though. Never heard of being under the age of 20 causing it a problem either - but then again, the ones out now are supposedly the new and improved ones. Though, not very improved for you.
A lawsuit FadingIntoDarkness? Really? First of all do you have any clue how much that would cost her? Much more then she owes - and if she gets one of those accident attorneys - they are the ones who profit - no one else.
You pretty much have to be on your death bed and have been screwed up pretty bad medically to make any kind of profit with a lawsuit.
That's the kind of thinking that clogs up the court system and increases insurance premiums.
And I'm also wondering FullMetal - why didn't you sign up for lovely Obamacare - I would think you would fit right into the plan without a problem., don't take this wrong, but you are young, and have no money - just the kind of person who would get the plan (probably free) without any hassles.
Unfortunately, you now have to wait until November to sign up again.
Make sure you are staying in bed, legs raised on pillows as often as you possibly can, drink plenty of fluids. - No dairy products, no alcohol what so ever because of the antibiotics. ice your lower back often - it will help keep the swelling down, which will keep the pain at bay.
The antibiotics are probably going to cause a yeast infection so plan on having monistat in the house because the yeast infection will creep up on you without warning.
Oh and when your dr removes it, he or she will probably - or at least should - put you on another round of antibiotics.
And find yourself a good gynecologist who you can talk to about all your options.
I go to the emergency room when I need to and clinics because I hardly have any money so its hard for me to get insurance. I've been told before to signup for obama care or medical. Im so confused because when I was young I raised myself and I dont really know much about any insurance . I had to figure out a lot of things on my own and I havent looked into health insurance.
once you find out if your state is federal run, or state run, you can then call the number before you apply. They are very helpful and knowledgeable.
You may want to find out the info now and call them anyway. Who knows you may be able to apply in your state.
Where I live, if you have life changing events, such as marriage, divorce, change in employment, you can apply even if open enrollment has closed.
