Thinking about getting my IUD removed. I've had constant cramping that sometimes nauseates me evwr since i got it.... 4 montha ago. :/ i didn't like the idea of leaving metal and plastic inside my body anyways but this is too much. I can't stand it. Not to mention the strings are STILL very prickly and having them trimmed has done nothing but make it worse. I know it can take 6 months, but like... is the six month mark going to roll around and suddenly they're softer? This sucks because i don't want another pregnancy anytime soon and my partner doesn't trust anything else. Advice? Thoughts?
