IUD Expulsion

Dedra

Hey everybody,

1.5 months ago as a 19 year old in college entering a new relationship I decided to protect myself from pregnancy using the top method on the market, an IUD. I had an appointment to check on the placement and it had moved. The OB/GYN didn’t know when but once it moves out of place it doesn’t protect from pregnancy. I had been having unprotected sex for all of that month. Please don’t judge in my head I thought I’d got the best form of birth control. I took plan b as soon as I found out but plan b doesn’t work if it’s already been fertilized. So here I am almost 4 days later, scared out of my mind that I could be pregnant. They did an ultrasound to check placement and then I wasn’t pregnant but I had sex the night before...on day 14 of my cycle...ovulation day. So here I am anxious out of my mind being forced to consider my options if I am. Before this I wouldn’t have considered abortion but now it is largely on my mind. For those who have had an abortion, I know it is my decision, but did you feel guilt and does it ever go away??? I’m so scared and alone right now.
