So half vent/half seeking advice. I had the skyla IUD inserted a week ago and checked my strings on day 5 due to some sharp cramping. My strings wernt anywhere to be found 😳 so I went to urgent care where an x-ray revealed that the IUD has perforated (gone through) my uterus. This completely shocked me because although I was tender and crampy it wasn't what I thought that would feel like. I was sent to the ER for an emergency surgery where they decided I was healthy enough to do an outpatient surgery. Now I'm waiting on the hospital to call me with my surgery date which could take till Friday. In the meantime I'm supposed to take it easy (hard to do with a two month old and a 4 year old) and watch out for a slew of terrifying symptoms while I wait wait wait. My anxiety is sky rocketing and I'm terrified of the surgery even though it's minimally invasive. I'm scared to go under, as silly as it sounds I'm terrified I won't wake up.
