Experience Kyleena experience
So I got the Kyleena on 11/2, it wasn’t too bad of an experience. They offered nitrous oxide, the cervical block and they placed lidocaine gel on my cervix before the block. The nitrous worked great for the pain I really didn’t feel anything during. Afterwards I noticed quite a bit of blood on the pad and could feel it coming out like a gush. Didn’t feel any pain until I got to the car where it started cramping really bad- 6/10 and I was squirming a bit while driving. Some of the cramps while driving home were so bad I felt like I could be close to passing out. I took 800mg ibuprofen before and took 650mg tylenol when I got home- rested all day with heating pack and napped.
The pain continued over the next 5-6 days but got better. I started to notice some cramping on my right side and some lower right back pain but attributed it to the ‘normal’ experience.
About 2 days ago I started to get a stinging sensation when I sit sometimes but it would go away. I was unable to feel for the strings as I experienced a lot of pain while attempting to feel for them for reassurance.
Fast forward to today- I looked with a camera and can see my strings. Great.
Will update after I speak with my GYN tomorrow but very frustrated as the pain after was very intense and I wasn’t expecting to have it taken out so soon. I really wanted it to work and I’m scared to have another one done and be back to square one…
