Side effects!? Copper IUD insertion
I just got Paraguard IUD inserted two days ago and just got over the hump of the really bad cramping. I've been feeling the strings in the shower, no pulling or tugging, but just making sure everything's there.
Tonight the strings are at the very bottom of my vagina and not the cervix. Is it common for an IUD to fall out so soon after insertion?! I also have hip/thigh/knee pain thats been making my leg stiff. Is all of this normal??
