I just had my second child 9 months ago. I had the mirena IUD places 8 months ago! Everything was great until this month I started experiencing sharp pains during sex and cramping for a month straight! I take Tylenol for the pain. I lost 57 lbs after having my daughter and was feeling great. I am getting my period regularly and normally bloat some but not a lot while on my period. Well 2 weeks ago I started bloating so bad and gained 10lbs! It feels like so much pressure down there and I’m concerned because I’m retaining so much water it’s making me tired and so sick. I can only feel 1 long string in my cervix. I called my doctor and I go for an ultrasound on Friday. Anyone else have experience with this? This cramping came out of NOWHERE and it’s never ending.
