What would you do if you couldn’t get to the OGBYN

Question

Okay so I have an IUD for about a year and it’s started to hurt so bad, I just need it taken out, I need it out soon. But I’ve called any gyno that could possibly take me, one needing a 50 dollar co-pay and none of them can take me in until next week. I have an apt for the 12th but I just need it out. It hurts so bad and it’s never hurt this way before and I really don’t know what to do at this point.
EDIT 
Thank you guys so much, planned parenthood was so nice, they got it out (my iud was a little higher up in my uterus than it should have been) and they did it really fast and although I had to wait about an hour they still got me in pretty fast 😊

Answer

Many planned parenthoods do same day appointments now. You call when they open to get scheduled for later that day. I would give them a call and see if they can help you. If you’re having pain, I would keep your ob appointment to get checked though. Just because your having pain does not mean it is being caused by the iud.

Answer

Call planned parenthood, and if they can't get you in right away go to the ER.

Answer

What do you mean it hurts? I don’t feel my IUD. 
Is it trying to come out of your cervix? Call planned parenthood and see what they can do for you. I know someone who got their IUD taken out for free.

Answer

I would take a high dose of ibuprofen and wait. My IUD has caused me severe pain to the point I almost went to the ER and when it happens I take 800 mg ibuprofen and wait it out

Answer

Some urgent care places will have an OBFYN service. You can also go to the ER.
