IUD overdue!!!!!!

Hey ladies sooooo Friday I had my IUD removed after having it in for 7yrs!!!! I know eeeeeewwwww! BUT I asked my GYN if that was a problem and he said typically in Europe they keep them for 5-7 yrs but of course the effectiveness wears off.

Has anyone else had this experience? So now I am without contraception but hey I’m not having sex anyway 😢. I plan on having another reinserted next month but I’m having second thoughts. Actually I’m pretty sure I have made up my mind that I want it back since I never had any problems with it. Anywho thanks for reading.
