My Paragard & I broke up.

My IUD fell out. Literally. All the way out.

I've been bleeding for 4 VERY long weeks. Heavy bleeding that required those heavy duty diaper type pads and even those weren't helping! I stopped for about a week and then went camping over fathers day weekend and conveniently started bleeding again. Except this time I was passing golf ball sized clots as well. And apparently my IUD slipped out unnoticed within one of those clots. I went to the hospital because I started to experience this heavy cramping that I can only relate to mild BH contractions. They did a pelvic exam but because my body is oh so cooperative (my cervix is in a strange position), they had to perform vaginal ultrasound and basically told me I was crazy because "Honey there is not an IUD in there!" (Mind you i had no idea it had come out in the clot). I told them to check again. They checked 3 times. Nothing. Well crap. This isn't the first time my paragard and I have had issues. The 1st time it tried to run away and my doc put it back in ita place, 2 months later I ended up pregnant and lost the baby after removal. I wanted to give it another chance. I thought theres no way you'll let me down again. I can't deal with the hormones in other birth controls. But here we are. You won't be welcome back into my life.
