Great video and explanations. The use of the word "discomfort" in the gyno world feels like gaslighting. Trying to get into the uturus to fish around for a lost IUD is far from uncomfortable, the pain was 10 out of 10. And apparently that was just the dilating, the doctor never made it to the fish hook part. I had even taken 3 ibprofen that day because I was concerned that the removal might be painful, of course not knowing that my previous doctor had doomed me by completely cutting off the strings! I was fighting back tears and the chair was covered in blood. After later researching what was going on, I find it shocking that anyone could ever use the word 'discomfort' to describe having their cervix double pierced with hooked forceps and then forced open, followed by a hook inserted and fishing around their uterus... all without medication. It is not discomfort, it is pain. Your calm, matter-of-fact tone is reassuring. And of course it's not helpful to terrify your viewers. Besides, maybe the ones who have already had their cervix stretched out by childbirth really do only feel discomfort. To the rest of you... the pain is bad, but it's temporary and you'll get through it!

@Sisabella666 Год назад

@christinagray1625 6 месяцев назад

The way you explained everything was so soothing…however, I’ve come across your video because of pure fear. This is my 2nd time getting the IUD. The first time it embedded itself into my uterus and the doctor LITERALLY ripped it out along with a piece of my uterus and said “oh it will grow back”. Years later after having my 3rd baby, I was convinced that if it happened once, it’s a 1% chance of it happening again. I had my 2nd IUD put in 10 months ago and I want it out because I have been having at least 3 (week long) periods a month. They couldn’t find it when they looked. I have a scheduled ultrasound a month out and I’m freaking out. I’m sorry but I don’t recommend this for anyone. I just want it out! 🥺😢

This is my exact situation. I had my IUD inserted in August 2019, two days later couldn’t find the string. Call my Doctor’s office, they did a scan and concluded it out of my body ( no X-ray was recommended) come to find out 3years later during a routine x-ray that it was in my abdomen, will be going for a surgery in 2 weeks. I will definitely be suing my doctor office for neglect.

@ca7117 Год назад

Sorry that happened to you. How did your surgery go? I’m in the same situation. I’m in shock still. Mine has been in over 10 years and I was told that it fell out. I’m wondering what my legal options will be. Seems like malpractice to me.

@maddeningams5866 2 года назад

So confused... just had Mirena replaced (after 7yrs of no periods/bleeding - yes I delayed the replacement by 2yrs but still no periods/bleeding during that time) and now with this new one I am spotting randomly, cramping, what I think was probably a period? but then 2 weeks later it happens again.. so things are very different this time around. Last week at my follow up, I am told the new hormone load has 'woken up' my hormones/reproductive system, my ovaries appear "big & juicy' yes a direct quote! The IUD is in perfect position so its not that it has slipped down at all which was his first concern. So how does a new load of levonorgestrel make me bleed, when I didn't at all on my last IUD?

@amanda0678 2 года назад

So what if the iud falls or slips down from the fundus? Can the strings wrap around the outside of the cervix?

P.s my period had never lasted for 3 weeks before an wondering if it's because of the iud

@mrsjomy Год назад

Thank you so much for this video. This is exactly what is happening to me but I just had a hysteroscopy without sedation or anesthesia and it was unsuccessful. Apparently while they were doing it I started bleeding a lot and they couldn’t get a clear picture. Doctor asked if I was expecting my period but I haven’t had a period in over a year and I spores a week prior to this procedure. Now I have a pre op appointment for another hysteroscopy through SDS. Hopefully this is the last procedure because I just want it out 😢

I already have so many complications with fibroids. Nervous 😬. I had Iud from last 10 yrs. I every 5 yrs it get changed.

@IMHO313 11 месяцев назад

This happened to me! My Ob/Gyn tried everything but she couldn't see or catch the strings (the IUD was def there) IT WAS THE MOST F*&$!$/! PAINFUL thing I've experienced after child birth. I'm now waiting for surgery to remove it and dealing with bleeding from the trauma of her trying. I regret the whole thing and the thought that I may have to go through this again in a few years is so upsetting. I'm seriously considering not having another one inserted 😞

@oanaenache991 Год назад

I got my IUD last week and my strings are like 5-6 cm long, that's how they were from the first day, is this a normal length? Should I be worried that my IUD went too low inside the uterus? I have no symptoms of anything

@michellerocafort3916 Год назад

Firstly, I really appreciate your videos it’s very educational and easy to follow. I am hoping to get some answers as I am currently undergoing an issue with removal. I went through all the stages you described where the doctor was fishing for the strings to no avail. I was sent for an ultrasound which revealed the IUD is placed normally and they referred me to a Gyno to use special tools to have it removed. When I got to the gyno, she injected my cervix with the numbing agent which was very painful and proceeded to fish for the strings which was also very painful. Keep in mind I took 1200MG of ibuprofen day of as I was terrified and took Mistroprotsol (to dialate the cervix) which didn’t seem to do much. After fishing, the Gyno could not find the strings and I am now being referred to surgery. Would you have any insight into what type of surgery is needed for a normally placed IUD where the strings were cut too short and the Gyno is unable to locate them?

Can you do laparoscopic surgery with a spinal anesthesia? I had that for hysteroscopy, and I did get one "breakthrough" contraction, but it quickly dissipated with IV pain meds. I don't like being intubated for general anesthesia.

@dianaolariu6820 2 года назад

Hello, I am 35 years old and tried to have the IUD set up a few days ago, but without success. My doctor said that my cervix was not dilated enough and tried several times to introduce it but couldn't. I mention that this was done in my last day of period as recommended. The alternative presented was to do it under anesthesia, but still she didn't recommend this, or use hormonal solutions of course. Also I mention that I had a pregnancy in 2017 and I had a C section because I was not dilated at all. Could these situations be linked? Aldo could you please tell me if you had this kind of situations with your patients? Also would you recommend to try having the IUD set up with another doctor? I confess that it hurt and now I am a bit scared. Also thinking that if it's so hard to put it how it will be to withdraw it if something doesn't go right. Many thanks in advance for your advice.

@m33ma2 9 месяцев назад

@@IAMALLURESIMONE it went great. She removed the IUD easily. No complications. I had some cramping for a few days and minimal bleeding. Definitely glad I did it. Also the cramping I had pre op is gone completely now...YAY.

My IUD has migrated and I'm heavy bleeding and awaiting for an op to be removed😢

How often does an iud migrate into the abdomen😳 I'm 5 weeks pp and wanted an iud. Now I'm nervous to get one

@alirodmd 2 года назад

Extremely rare. And the IUD itself doesn’t migrate. It would only be in the abdomen if there was a uterine perforation during insertion!

@vanessagutierrez8897 Год назад

@daronwalugembe3558 well since my last post, I had it removed it did not hurt at all it was fast and easy, and I did not get another one put in, and my periods are only 4 days long and are very light, before was 7 days and heavy 🙂

@melvayaredaguilar Год назад

then why do you give them to people if you know if it’s going to hurt?

@kier3576 2 года назад

So it’s pretty uncommon for you to have had okay checkups and the IUD was in place, and it then years later migrating to being lost or perforated? I’m so terrified, I attempted removal a week ago and my med university’s NP couldn’t locate the strings so I’m having to go to the GYN and have her locate it. I’m so scared it’s perforated or I’m going to have to have this extra painful and $$$ procedure to remove it…

How did it go? What did they have to do? I’m nervous because they couldn’t see my strongs

@kier3576 Год назад

@@Neesha242 Sorry I never saw this til now! I had to go to the GYN that placed it, and they were able to locate it fairly quickly and remove it. They weren't sure if they would have needed me to have a sonogram done to see where the IUD was located, but luckily I didn't have to have that done.

@@kier3576 oh I'm glad everything turned out good.. When they couldn't located the strings they did a ultrasound and it was in place. I'm going next month for a check up and have them do one more ultrasound with a doctor just to double check

Hello, I just went today to get mines removed and the doc wasn't able to find the strings. So I have to go get an ultrasound to see where it is. I am nervously about it.

@Sarianmiller 2 месяца назад

Did they get it out with the ultrasound?

@shaniquenembhard5089 10 месяцев назад

So can you get pregnant if the IUD is lost in the pelvis

@maddieminor13 2 года назад

I had to have mine removed in the operating room… they found a large fibroid under ultra sound when I went to take mine out and it blocked it from coming out in office. Crazy!

@folababy4143 2 года назад

Wow bless u do they put u to sleep how long did u sleep off... they want to book me for surgery too to remove my Iud cos my threads..

@hillarytibbetts627 2 года назад

IUD placement for me was by far the most painLESS birth control I have ever had done. I had the shot which I HATED! Very painful. The one in my arm hurt so so bad and bruised so badly. This procedure was so fast I honestly didn’t realize she was done I even had a pap done as well… so if you all are having that much paid then I’d say TALK to your doctor. They can’t fix the problem or help with pain if they don’t know, my doctor was very vocal and constantly checking on me. Very well done! QUESTION?! My doctor left mine longer so it bundles up and moves out of the way. As my partner at the time is larger, and could definitely feel it, and it was uncomfortable for him. My question being… why can I feel it? When he states he felt it I do too. Almost like he may be pushing the IUD against my uterine wall? And can I remove it myself? Since it is longer? It takes forever to get an appointment, and at this time I no longer want it or need it. My apt is 2 months out. Question 3 why was I have spotting around my normal period time for about 5 months and then it just stopped again? I did check for my string it’s their and took pregnancy tests. All negative. Thought odd.

@tiffany5626 2 года назад

Yikes!!!! You guys can feel it? Ok, now I’m totally freaking out. I’m having placement next month. Wish you the best and hopefully she will answer your questions soon!

@derpsydaisy5202 Год назад

Did you end up taking it out? There was a bit there where mine was poking my husband but it was the strings. I can't remember if we had them trimmed or if they just settled into place on their own. Haven't had a problem since.

@debbiekosareff1747 Год назад

The pain was horrible, so I m keeping it. I really dont need it husband is fixed even before we met.

@clarkyyy1706 2 года назад

This is probably a stupid question but how important is checking your own strings? I always forget to😂😂😂

@heatherjackson639 Год назад

I'm nervous. I went to get mine removed and they couldn't find the string at all and they dug and it hurt. So I'm going back for a ultrasound... should I be worried cuz I am

@florestia13 2 года назад

I just went to my doctor because I was having sharp pain… and my IUD is not in the uterus it’s in the cervical canal. She couldn’t get out. So now I need surgery to remove it.
