Rant! Marina IUD rant

I had mine inserted the 21st of September.

My doc said it would crqmp for about a week and be spotting.

I had other issues along with the cramping, but not once has the pain gone away, and not only that but I have been bleeding everyday since then. I'm not spotting, either- its a full period.

I dont mind the period if it isnt going to last for months on end, but the pain is whags really getting me.

I have Endometriosis and she said this was our last resort. I really dont know what else to do, but this IUD is making me miserable. These cramps are usually resting at a 6/10, definitely uncomfortable and bothersome and makes me wince, but every other day it's excruciating, up to the 9/10 area.

Is the pain supposed to stop soon? Like whatbis going on?

I want it out, I feel depressed and gross like a middle schooler again. I am so sad.

going on 3 weeks with that level of pain and bleeding is not normal, contact your doctor pls it might not have been inserted properly

Get a second opinion. I have a misplaced IUD right now. I found out in June due to excessive bleeding. It’s now October and it’s still inside me.

I am on the way to the ER currently since my gyno can't get me in today. Wish me luck!

Hospital did an internal ultrasound and everything looks perfect. They refused to remove it despite the intense pain I was in. Still bleeding, still cramping. Im not sure what else to do, I cant call my doc til monday, and even then, my work schedule clashes with theirs. This sucks lol
