Iud Problems Can Anyone Help Posted: 08-09-05 21:53pm
Ok I have had an iud in for about a year
now and have been having problems here
lately that have really got me worried.
To start out with I am really not sure
which one my old doctor had put in cause
the information she gave me for it was one
the copper t but I had asked for the other
one so I don't kno. Anyhow. I have
been having horrible cramps for quite a
while now, sometime for a week before I
actually start my period. But the other
night they were so bad that it felt like
the contractions I had had with my first
baby. They even woke me up from sleeping
and it seemed like nothing I could do
would even decrease the pain. Also the
past couple of months the discard has
started out brown (which i've never had
before) and then it turns red after a day
or so and it is really heavy most of the
time. Along with this I have had clots
with it. I can still feel the string but
it almost seems closer than it was before.
I am so ready for the damn thing to be
off, but I don't know what to use for
birth control then if I do as I am very
fertile it seems. If any one can relate
to any of the above symptoms or has any
input on them or if any one has any ideas
for another bc method. It would be much
appreciated. I was on bc after my first
baby and didn't get back on it because I
heard that if you were over a certain
weight then it is less effective and I
actually suspect that I had gotten
pregnant while on my bc pills but am not
totally sure of course I was on the bc
pills without estrogen or whatever cause I
was nursing. So I guess I am not totally
against going back on them if it came down
to it.
Sorry so long!!

Ok im not a doctor, but here are some
things that could help you out.
The pain, get it checked out you could
have endometriosis.
The brown discharge, brown discharge is
usually old lining from your last period
that didnt make its way out.
Clotting: you are shedding the lining of
your uterus not all of it turns into
liquid there might be little chunks in
there. (if theres a lot of clotting and
pain it could be a miscarriage)
as for birth control try getting the shot,
my sister is on it and she loves it, plus
you only have a period for only 4 times a
year (then you wont have to deal with
weird discharge or cramps!)
i dont really know much about iud's I
would be to afraid to use one, if you
really dont think something is right with
it go to the doc and get it checked out.
