Should I have my IUD taken out?

karli

I have the kyleena IUD. I’ve had it for almost 2 years and lately I’ve been having a lot of SEVERE cramping. I never have a period but I do like to have what I call my “nonexistent period” so I have no period but I still have symptoms and that is usually the last week of the month. Obviously it’s not the end of the month but yet I’m having this cramping. 🥺 There are also other things making me think maybe I should have it taken out, like for one when my boyfriend and I have sex, he has to limit himself quite a bit because it literally feels like he’s shoving my IUD up inside of me and it HURTS like a bitch. I’m also always paranoid about having this cramping because I’m like what if it’s perforating my uterus and ya know, you hear all those crazy stories about an IUD making you infertile or having an ectopic pregnancy. So that’s my story. What’s your opinion? And if you do think I should have it taken out, what birth control method would you recommend?? Thank you 🙏
