I had an IUD put in a week ago today
I had the damn thing taken out today!
Aside from reading horror stories after it was put in
I started bleeding like crazy right away
And it was worse than any period I had ever had,..
not only that during my dance with the IUD
I had the urge to "push" several times
So why the heck am I writing about such craziness
I want you to know what I went trough just in case
The IUD came recommended by a friend,..
A friend who is now getting it removed after I brought some things to her attention
The massive weight gain,
The fats deposits that make home in the gut
and the general feelings of being overwhelmed
Which she experienced all of them in her 16 month trial with the mirena IUD
I wasn't about to gain massive amounts of weight,..
nor was I interested in the major blood loss, cramping or urge to "push"
So I called the Docs and said I want it out
The Nurse NAZI, stated that I might have postpartum,....
I was like no, I just want it out
Not to mention the hormones,... I don't want no stinkin hormones!!!
It started to dry up my milk and I had to use fenugreek to help me out!
So I made my decision to get that damn thing pulled
In my defense, or I should say the IUD's defense, I should have done more research, But this is just one more time I was caught not being perfect, awe crap, what is that like 3 x's in my life now?!?!
So there I was in the office feeling like an ass for having a birth control method for a week,..
but I just "felt" like I needed it out,..
So it is supposed to be quick and easy,..
MY ASS!!!
THEY COULDN'T FIND IT
TO REMOVE IT!!!!
It was put in a week ago, COME ON!!!
Are you kidding me??
Nope
They had to call in another Doc, and she couldn't find it either
So it was off to the ultrasound room once again,..
3 kids in tow with a sheet wrapped around my ass,..
Oh, it was golden!
I had to get one of those sexy internal ultrasounds, and you know which ones I am talking about,.. A single woman's dream,...YUCK!
Movin it all over trying to find that damn IUD
and they did,...
THANK God!
but those lil' strings,.. were all curled up
So between have my legs wide open, all their trinkets in my crotch and the ultrasound
Success!
It was removed!!!
They said that my body was rejecting it,.. I was like duh!
(even though I was basically begged to keep it in like 5 x's no joke)
The happiest day like ever!!
I bribed the kids ( for sitting still and being good, and they so were considering) with a "special" drink from Starbucks
and I got one too
A Mint Mocha Frap,.. oh Yummmm
So with that, this Sassy Mama, does not recommend the IUD to anyone!
Stay on the Sunny Side!
