I’ve had it since March and it’s made my pain miles worse when it’s supposed to help.
The cramps and bleeding literally hasn’t stopped for a single day, I knew it wasn’t going to work but the “localized” hormones were supposed make it better? I smelled bullshit a mile away and I’ve wasted two months of my life in agony entertaining these dimwit doctors who think it’s the miracle device that’s going to solve every women’s painful periods

The denial and gaslighting from these “specialists” has been an absolute fucking joke

Update
I needed this thing out weeks ago, I wish I did this sooner, it was unfortunately far from a standard removal.
I went to PP and they couldn’t find the strings but still charted they did for some reason. I called the office that placed it in the first place and the phone nurse was already trying to talk me into waiting it out even longer until I started sobbing and screaming I don’t care, I want it out, it’s making me want to kill myself and I need it out immediately. Then she booked me an appointment with a surgeon without the guarantee we’ll be able to get it out.
so I drove to the other side of town to meet with him, he sorted out the misunderstanding with PP, gave me a double cervical block (fucking ouch) and then had to go into my uterus with the forceps to “tease out the strings” as he put it. It took almost ten minutes of searching and I will not lie, that was the most painful experience of my life. Ten times worse than the actual placement. If we didn’t get it out soon I was going to black out from the pain, but I NEEDED it out.
He was very kind and empathetic while I was blubbering and sobbing on the exam table, the nurse/chaperone was very sweet and encouraging; let me squeeze her poor hand until it turned white.
When he said he found the strings I immediately started desperately begging him to take it out. He did in the middle of my desperate pleas and showed it to me as proof before tossing it in the biobin.

I’m never getting an IUD ever again, I don’t want to scare anyone out of getting one but I’m not going to just pretend it didn’t happen because others have had great luck with theirs either.

Title says it all lmao. I’ve heard good things about THC suppositories for pelvic pain, has anyone seen or bought some from a dispensary in town? I’m willing to travel to Clackamas or Hillsboro or whatever to get some, I’ve been absolutely miserable for almost two months now
