Does anyone use an IUD?
I have a couple of questions -
- Did the procedure hurt?
- Any complications?
- Any difficulty getting pregnant after you removed it
- any other feedback you can give
thanks girls!

No, just a pinch and some cramping afterwards.
- Any complications?
I had paragard and my periods were very heavy and very painful. I wouldn't get it again. I hear Mirena is much better.
- Any difficulty getting pregnant after you removed it
I'll let you know at a later date.

Re: Does anyone use an IUD?

The actual procedure was similar to being in labor slightly...they have to dilate you to insert the IUD. THe real pain came for me that night, I have a pretty high threshold for pain and I was very uncomfortable.
- Any complications?
None at all
- Any difficulty getting pregnant after you removed it
Get pregnant the 2nd month after removing it
- any other feedback you can give
I absolutely loved having it and will be using it again after this DC is born.
I used Paraguard and had a slightly heavier period which lightened and lightened with each month until it regulated to about 4 days. I AM hearing this is not typical though.

Dont remember it hurting very badly, but afterward the cramping was killing me for days. i think i also had the paraguard.
- Any complications?
YES! mine moved out of place and I couldve gotten pregnant! I also got an infection from it and had to go on antibiotics for 6 weeks which I couldnt tolerate and had to stop. needless to say i had to have that thing yanked out asap
Also my periods were extremely long and heavy, like 2 weeks long!
- Any difficulty getting pregnant after you removed it
not trying
- any other feedback you can give
I would never get it because of the horror I went through with it, but that's just my story. my friend has one and is happy with it.
thanks girls!
