The IUD is ruining my life.

Aleea • Pregnant with my first baby! Due date is October 25!

I wanna start out this post saying that I have a really high pain tolerance that even most of my doctors have commented on. Really no amount of pain has bothered me enough to become a problem. I've broken ribs and my femur without even wincing. But I decided to get Kyleena. (I have not had kids). This may have very well been the worst decision of my life. Getting it in the cramping didn't bother me because I've been dealing with severe menstrual cramping all my life. So that was a walk in the park. But the next month, the week before my period came and I already had the worst cramping I've ever had in my life and terrible pms symptoms ( migranes, diarrhea, fatigue, mood swings). So this month comes along (I'm now on month 3), and i get cramps twice as bad as the last time, so bad that I passed out and my blood pressure went up. And the cramps started a week and a half before my actual period ever came. But the pms symptoms are even worse and they're seeming more and more like copper poisoning. My symptoms are crazy mood swings where I'm completely losing control of my emotions, and even going hand in hand with extreme confusion, and migraines, diarrhea, I'm apparently lactose intolerant during my TOM, I have muscle cramping and muscle weakness so horrible I wasn't sure I could drive home yesterday, and it's to the point where I have to try so hard to walk or move that I'm just not moving. I don't like to feel out of control. I've always kept my shit together and I've always handled pain very well. But I am pretty sure this IUD is causing these hormone related problems I have never ever had in my life before. This was a mistake for me and I'm actually starting to worry but my real consequence will be. I am going crazy and I can't hardly move my legs right now. I am trying to find somewhere that will take this out since my doctors are on vacation and it cannot wait. I'm truly glad for the people this works for and wish I was you. I think it's a great thing but it did not agree with my body. I'm not trying to scare anyone from getting it, but I am trying to see if anyone had similar issues and see where they went from there. If you have similar stories please share girls!

**UPDATE**

I got my IUD out and am feeling better. Thanks for the support ladies!
