MY EXPERIENCE WITH IUD (ER VISIT)

Our bodies are different, so although it didn’t workout for me, it might for you.

I always wanted a birth control that’s non-hormonal so I have copper IUD a try. I went to my local planned parenthood and it was an experience I’d never want to go through again.

The insert was the most painful experience I went through and let me tell you, I have HIGH pain tolerance. The doctor came in and started prepping, I didn’t get numbed up and the doctor said it’ll be a “little” painful. They didn’t tell me it was going to make me almost FAINT. I literally felt my body leaving the earth for a whole minute.

After, I slowly walked to my car and sat in my car for an hour before I felt okay to drive.

Then my experience just became worse and worse as my period came every month. My period cramps were SO painful, I kept missing work 3-4 days a month because I literally could not keep my body straight. I would be in bed, crying and hitting my abdomen because it felt like something was getting ripped apart.

During my 5th month pms, I ripped the IUD out MYSELF. Every month the bleeding kept getting worse and so were the cramps. My quality of life was ruined. I remember laying on my bathroom floor, bleeding out. I took my self to the ER, thankfully nothing was torn and everything is back to normal now.

I hope none of you go through this pain, ever.
