mrsdickey29 · April 2018

Im confused. IUD’s don’t just disappear lol.... they can’t find it??

CecilB93 · April 2018

Yea @kchiquita20 I'd be pretty concerned too...

I think they can fall out. That’s why they encourage you to check for the strings every so often.

kchiquita20 · April 2018

I guess if you were straining for a poop you maybe wouldn’t notice it fall out, but they are decent sized devices! That would be hard to miss in your pants lol.

Have they done an ultrasound to make sure it’s not in your abdomen or something??

runrinserepeat · April 2018

They can also migrate out of your uterus, through the wall I think. I’ve heard terrifying stories about IUDs

kristah2 · April 2018

A friend of mine had one. She had to have day surgery to have it removed after she couldn’t find the strings and found it embedded in her uterus.
Another friend of mine started feeling really sick. She’s a doctor so she tried to take it out but couldn’t find the strings. She went to her OB to have her take it out.. she couldn’t find it either. She had an ultrasound done and found it in the outside of her uterus and it had punctured the wall! She ended up having serious surgery and off for 8 weeks.

Aka.. I suggest talking to your doctor ASAP to try to find it because there’s a higher chance it’s missing inside of you then the chance it just fell out or “went away”.

This conversation is making my baby box cringe. Anyone else?

hkom · April 2018

Yeah I've never understood the "they can just fall out" thing. I had one for years and had it removed in February when we started TTC, and getting it taken out HURTS. And I mean they are small, but not THAT small. Like you should totally notice it exiting your cervix and coming out of your vagina. I would DEFINITELY call you doctor to have them check to make sure it didn't imbed or escape your uterus.

Is this fake?

Possibly our first MUD? A girl can dream.

@Gwyneddlesliegrace What’s a MUD? Made Up Dx? Mostly Unrealistic Disaster? Moderately Unusual Distress? I can go on for days ...

PensiveCrayon · April 2018

@echo-charlietango Close! Made Up Drama. But I'm too polite to accuse someone of MUD right off the bat

Gwyneddlesliegrace · April 2018

@echo-charlietango Made Up Drama. Typically found when someone creates an AE “alter ego” with the purpose of stirring the pot.

echo-charlietango · April 2018

@PensiveCrayon & @Gwyneddlesliegrace Ah! Thanks for the clarification.

I’m leaning towards MUD from lack of participation, loling when something isn’t funny, and bad spellings.

rawarr · April 2018

MUD?? Who has that much time on their hands

runrinserepeat · April 2018

Oh @rawarr honey. We had someone catfish my second bmb for more than a year. She didn’t have any children at all it turns out. Apparently people have straaaaaaaange hobbies.

echo-charlietango · April 2018

@runrinserepeat Really?! That’s cray. I’m so happy that I don’t need to churn up drama for whatever reasons they do.

I’m really interested in the reasons why people do that. It is to feel in control? Are they emotional vampires who get a digital fix? I’m sure Psychology Today has some articles for me to dive into

runrinserepeat · April 2018

Honestly a member of our bmb spoke with our catfish on the phone, and I think in the end I felt mostly just sad for her. She so desperately wanted to be a part of something and she thought we were that opportunity.

kchiquita20 · April 2018

We had one in my other group. She was TERRIBLE. So mean... she’d google people and find out info on them and share it in the group. Telling people they were awful parents when they came to the group for advice etc. ugh.

echo-charlietango · April 2018

Hm

I totally understand the need for community, and I hope that the catfish found a more fitting group somewhere. FX for anybody seeking human connections, because isolation is real. I hope they all can find more honest means of making friends.

kchiquita20 · April 2018

She ended up getting found out I think, though. Some computer nerd in the group ended up matching IP addresses and it ended up being an active girl in the group

missmarissa711 · April 2018

@kchiquita20 we had the SAME THING happen in my A15 group!

PensiveCrayon · April 2018

I slept on it, and I’m gonna go ahead and say this isn’t MUD, but a case is a very new bumpie popping in to post without reading the READ THIS FIRST post. MUD is generally very detailed and florid.

But yeah. Catfishers are out there. D16 scraped by without any...as far as I know!

runrinserepeat · April 2018

Yeah if it were MUD she would have come back to keep it going.

Very true. And her story would have been more extravagant

katy0990 · April 2018

What seems very odd to me is that she knows when she O’d, but if she had an IUD, then why chart?

AGK2015 · April 2018

In fairness, my first IUD removal was super-crampy, but I didn't even feel the second one happen. Uteri, man. Apparently you slice that puppy open once and nothing else will faze it ever again. I don't know that I'd have been able to ignore it migrating down and out my hooha, but hot dogs and hallways, I guess. I'm not as

But also... uh, okay. Make sure you see an OB ASAP so you can rule out ectopic pregnancy, OP, as that's a major concern for IUD pregnancies. Congrats on your blastocyte!

pajamstagrams · April 2018

*Lurking from Oct 2018*

I'm going to give OP the benefit of the doubt because if it is an IUD pregnancy that needs to get checked ASAP, and can be scary as hell.

I'm actually 15 weeks pregnant today and conceived with my Paragard in place. Naturally I was freaked the eff out because it's super dangerous (and also because I was so shocked I was in that <1%, you never think it will happen to you), so I went for an U/S within 24 hours of BFP (~5w) to rule out ectopic. When I got the IUD out two days later, my OB AGAIN checked to make sure I didn't have an "ectopic twin" (can't remember the term he used). My strings were in place, but the U/S showed that it had slipped a little low (who knows what came first, baby or low IUD? we'll never know). I was a little crampy a few days before and after they removed it, and felt a hell of a lot better once it was out, so perhaps it was slowly forcing it's way out?

So...yes, make sure you go to an OB/ER/doctor ASAP because ectopic pregnancies are some scary shit, and if the IUD can be found and removed, that's definitely ideal (not to say you can't have a healthy pregnancy and baby with an IUD in place, it's happened). And congrats!
