I know its been a while so here are a few posts to catch everyone up on the last few months:
In the beginning of February I sucked it up, put my fears behind me, made it to my appointment and had my IUD removed. Lets just say it wasn't a pleasant experience! However, life with an IUD (no periods, dropped some weight, no cramping or PMS symptoms) definitely outweighed the painful insertion and removal. After the painful removal all I could think about was starting trying to conceive ("ttc") the following month. YIPPEE, or so I thought...My OBGYN put the brakes on that. UGH! She wanted me to have two normal periods before we started ttc! I asked her if that would happen right away.. she said it could take up to 6 months to have regular periods! I was super bummed, considering the fact that before the IUD I never had normal periods! Great, the wait is on!
