So I got my IUD in mid August and LOVED IT for about a month or two. Until I started getting the worst back pain and infections left and right. Two yeast and THREE bacterial! I'm in a monogamous relationship FYI. Plus the strings disappeared freaking me out. Had to get a pregnancy test done and x rays to see if it moved and went through my uterus to my other organs. I also checked the strings much more than once a month. Another thing is it broke my skin out. So I regret telling women how much I loved it and recommend it. I feel like you need to have it for at least a year before you can really see the effects. I was willing to go through the bleeding till my body got adjusted like my doctor recommended but the constant infections were too much and Thank God my doctor was able to get it out the second try!
