Well, an ug few days really :( Won't be too graphic but it's "female related stuff". Had to make a trip to the doctor today so that he (yes, HE .... would have been more happy with a female nurse but hey-ho...) could remove an iud. Damn thing :( Been in for nearly 3 years and I've been suffering more and more with it - terrible monthlies, pain like you wouldn't believe ..... Anyway, over the last few days I've been crying with pain, unable to stand up straight, vomiting - the full works. In the end couldn't take it anymore and, yesterday, made an appointment with the doctor.
I went in there with pain right across my middle (just where my diaphragm would be), sweating, bloated. I came out a short while later completely pain free and no bloating. The bloody thing had somehow got itself dislodged, HOWEVER, on reading up on this particular iud (the Nova T380 in case you're in any way interested or want to avoid it!) I find that the symptoms I've been increasingly suffering from over the last few months are not uncommon. Why I don't know - it's not hormonal but it screws you up completely - hideous mood swings, cramping at all times of the month, your entire body bloats up and the bleeding ... scary isn't the word for it :(
I'm never having one EVER again. Am now recovering - terrible pain is gone but still very tender.
