Removing the IUD


Yes...as of 4 pm today I am no longer suffering from the Copper IUD that I had inserted on Monday. Why? This morning I woke up feeling OK, than started to steadily feel like crap, cramps, nausea and light headed...a week in bed is not what I signed up for! I spoke with my family doctor a wonderful lady doctor who said that I should NOT be feeling like this...so I had it taken out, It was painless! My body temp warmed up right away, I was no longer freezing....my headache is so much better...cramping is very slight and my mood is well, pretty great...I am smiling again and feeling more like my normal ( slightly crazy) self :)

So what have I learned from all of this? I have come to realize that my body is going to communicate with me, regardless of what I want or think I need. I honor this communication no matter what! I will find the way that is right for me when it comes to birth control....I will not be in a hurry and will research all my options most carefully from now on. To all you Ladies out there: Take your time and listen to your body...don't hesitate to reverse a procedure that is not working for you because you are far more important than the procedure itself!

Thank You & I hope this helps others who may be facing this challenge in their life :)
