Sooo, I got sick again. My Doctor said it was normal for some girls to feel like it is working and then keep getting sick like this. Do NOT ignore the pain and sickness. Many things could go wrong and that could affect your chances of having kids later on in life in a negative way!
She told me to expect odd discharged, but if I get a fever or dizzy that I should go to the ER ASAP. I have 3 medications to take, and I got a shot... All are to get rid of and prevent future infections.
So far I have to say I feel better. My body stopped trying to tense us around the IUD, and luckily I wasn't so infected that she wasn't okay to take it out. -She said in some cases it is better to leave it in while you take the medication and then come back and get it removed; especially if you are extremely sensitive and/or sore. I just felt the sick coming back so I wasn't in as much pain as last time.
TMI WARNING!
Some girls say it feels like when you are pulling out a tampon. Uhmm... It was pretty close to that. I felt pressure, and then it sort of popped and was out. Kind of made me think of that scene in The Amazing Spiderman, yea... Weird. Also, I think I made that same face! :P
Out of curiosity I did look at my IUD after if was out. It was bigger than I thought. O.O I was too nervous to look at the long stick thing that they use to insert it, so I new it was my only real chance to see. It looked about 1.5 inches long, and I preferred my strings to be longer since I'm not sexually active and want to be sure it is still in place.
Their photo is pretty accurate, you just have to imagine how long the strings are. Mine were longer than the ones in the photo, actually I'm willing to say almost twice as long. Some girls like them short, or their partners complain... *rolls eyes* its not for them anyways. However, be sure to ask that they take a little off at a time because most stories I read say they were cut way short and that is what leads to needing real surgery to remove it.
As of tomorrow I will be on the birth control pill... Again... I am hoping this new one will help keep my period in check. I will post my final entry once I am no longer sick. I hope you all have a wonderful and safe female life! (:
