Doctor Visit

I went to the doctor today! I told her what was wrong (highlighted in my last post) and she looked at it. She talked about pulling it out and giving me a shot every 3 months instead. She actually looked at me, started to get ready to take it out, and stopped. I guess what she saw and by how I said it hurt she realized it was infected like I thought.
She said not to worry- it doesn't look bad and it explains my cramps. It was most likely irritated and got infected when the other doctor pushed it back into place.
I will be on medication for two weeks and then see go back in in another two weeks. If I'm still hurting she would like to revisit the pulling it out and trying the shots.

I guess, just be sure to stay clean! Wash all hands before touching, keep partners clean and self clean, and be sure to talk to your doctors! I've been 1+ month with the pain and infection with nothing to be worried about now that she has seen it.

Also, while there she let me know removal is easy but not to do it yourself in case something goes wrong. So please remember that! (:

Sick...

Okay! I'm updating from the last post.
I have a doctor appointment on Dec 19th.
TMI WARNING!
I'm having pain and abnormal discharge for myself. There is some pain doing everyday things like sitting, laying down, and bending over. My strings are still there but my uterus feels swollen/different to me. I thought I was going to update saying my period has lasted to long- but I realized it isn't blood.
I got a *little* worried and of course my symptoms are under the "Call your doctor at once if you have a serious side effect such as:" ... Just so everyone has a copy-

• severe cramps or pelvic pain
• extreme dizziness, feeling like you might pass out
• heavy or ongoing vaginal bleeding, vaginal sores, vaginal discharge that is watery, foul-smelling discharge, or otherwise unusual
• severe pain in your side or lower stomach
• pale skin, weakness, easy bruising or bleeding
• fever, chills, or other signs of infection
• pain during sexual intercourse
• sudden numbness or weakness, especially on one side of the body
• sudden or severe headache, confusion, problems with vision, sensitivity to light
• jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes)
• signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.

Less serious side effects may include:

• irregular menstrual periods, changes in bleeding patterns or flow
• breakthrough bleeding, or heavier menstrual bleeding during the first few weeks after device insertion
• back pain
• headache, nervousness, mild dizziness
• nausea, vomiting, bloating
• breast tenderness or pain
• weight gain, acne, changes in hair growth
• mood changes, loss of interest in sex
• mild itching, skin rash, or
• puffiness in your face, hands, ankles, or feet.

Highlighted things are what I have. Just a heads up- Your doctor won't actually worry about a good handful of these until you are past 6 months. If you are having major pain DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE 6 MONTH WAIT! Your doctor will have to see you if you go in.

I will update after my appointment or sooner if something goes wrong.
Have a good week!
