My IUD came out today.
So I got an IUD several months ago. It was my second attempt. The first time was when I was told that a fibroid was in the way and that it would have to be removed. I had it removed because at that time I wanted to have children and it would have needed to be removed anyway. I didn't immediately try again because I was just exhausted at having to even think about it.
Flash forward, I wanted the heavy bleeding to stop so got one inserted. In this last period, it was heavy. Needing to go back to two tampons with a pad type of heavy. And today when I pulled out my tampon, the IUD came out too. Apparently that's *rare* but I'm just that special snowflake!
So instead of getting it re-inserted, I got a prescription for Medroxyprogesterone. 10mg once a day. I also had to get weighed and I am 239 pounds. The heaviest I have *ever* been in my life.
To answer the question in 's recent live video. I was told my a doctor back in 2019 that I needed to get an ultrasound because she could feel something. But I never did because she didn't make it urgent. I can't tell when my first "symptoms" but that was the first time it was probably brought to my attention.
I'm exhausted with all of this. My friend just reached out to me and said this: "I'm having a hysterectomy later this month. My uterus is massive (like I'm 24 weeks pregnant) and I have 11+ fibroids. I honestly feel fine. I feel a little full and uncomfortable but not in pain. I just thought I gained a lot of weight in the last 2-4 years."
So it's hitting everyone and no one is talking about it! So thank you.
