Post iud removal pain. TMI

minervacullen

It's been a week and a half since the removal. When she took it out it felt like it was attached to the left side of my uterus. One little spot hurt, I almost told her to stop. I also had a uti, so I can't tell for sure whether the initial cramping was from the removal or uti.

A few days ago my whole vagina started hurting, like that achy pain that radiates down. My uterus and I think my ovary also started hurting. It's like a sharp achy pain. It's stopped me in my tracks a few times.

I have PCOS, so I'm thinking it might be cysts, or maybe it's just my uterus getting used to no foreign object invading it's space. Then I googled, I know that's bad, and now I'm totally freaking out thinking I have some horrible infection from the removal and bacteria getting up in there.

I also had what I think was a short period already and some spotting.

Has anyone else had this post removal?

No the speculum didn't cause any issues, I'm pretty stretched out down there after a 4th degree tear and two almost 9lbs babies I never even notice when the stick it in. That's so terrible.

It's like that pain in your vagina when you have really bad af and when pregnant. I'm not pregnant I POAS right before if was removed.

I had similar vaginal pain when mine was removed but it only lasted a short while during the first AF after it came out. And it was also like the worst period I had ever had. I didn't have the painful removal like you did and I wasn't in pain right away. I would probably call. It doesn't hurt to talk to the nurse.

Which IUD did you get removed?

I just got the Paragard put in a few days ago, and every now and then I'll get pain in my vagina and the left side of my uterus. Sometimes I get pain in my cervix. It makes me all paranoid that the IUD migrated and/or embedded onto the walls of my uterus.

The mirena. I didn't do the paraguard because my mom had an allergic reaction to the metal when she had it.

I would call. Sounds like a significant amount of pain.i would be concerned about infection.

I had some cramping, and about 5 days of bleeding after my IUD came out.
Also, no exaggeration, I was knocked up a week later. So, just giving you a heads up that you could be super fertile after. Maybe that's what you are going for You could be having ovary pain from ovulating.
Some bleeding and cramping is normal. Does ibuprofen help the pain?
