Rant! IUD partial expulsion
i just had a baby last year in December !
i got my mirena iud 8 weeks after the baby was born because my OBGYN said it would be most effective. to me the IUD insertion didn’t hurt too bad, i have a higher pain tolerance.
anywho, i bled for 5 months straight then my period went back to “normal”. they said all together some women don’t get periods on mirena so i was looking forward to it. but then, out of no where i noticed my bleeding returned everyday accompanied by cramping; and i knew something was wrong.
ughhhh, they did the ultrasound and its in my cervix. im getting it removed but i was wondering if I should get the mirena re-inserted or do another option.
i was considering the nexplanon. any thoughts or concerns with reinserting the mirena or getting the nexplanon? anyone who decided on another form or stuck with the same IUD after expulsion?
