I just want to get something off my chest. I saw my Dr back in September because I was having 10-12 day long periods for over 18 months. I had the Mirena IUD for about 24 months at the time. So much for no period. I hadn't complained before because I was content with not getting preg and figured that it wasn't a big deal. Until 12 day long period turned into 13, and then 14. I couldn't take it anymore. She walks into the office takes one look at me and said well you're 190 pounds so it's most likely because you're too fat. Consider losing weight... I was so frustrated I just started crying. I ended up going to the ER in Nov with a painful hemorrhagic ovarian cyst and they ended up taking the IUD out. Turns out the IUD was infected! It had weird goop on it and smelled funny. I had PID too. Hubby and I decided to stop the whole bc thing and then eventually decided to ttc. I've only lost 10 lbs so I'm wondering if that's why it's not happening quickly. 😭 Anyway just wanted to vent... Thanks for reading.
