Should I go to the ER?
I got the paragard IUD a year ago. Everything has been okay until now.
I’ve been having a lot of cramping pain. Maybe 7-8 out of 10.
It’s on the left side of my uterus, and kinda in the center too.
I had my period on the 5th, I’m not supposed to start again until the 31st. I already ovulated on the 16th.
I’ve been hurting for 4 days now (since the 19th). I’m worried it might be misplaced or maybe I’m even pregnant.
The women’s health clinic can’t see me for another 3 weeks. Advice???

You should definitely go to the er
Go to the er for sure
You should go get checked, maybe ask for a pelvic ultrasound so they can try to locate the IUD. You could be pregnant or the device could be dislodged.
I’m currently 19 weeks pregnant and I got pregnant on the paragard. I started to have cramps a week before my period, so I decided to do a string check… didn’t find the strings, but found the IUD itself coming out of my cervix. My doctor ordered me an ultrasound, but didn’t believe I could be pregnant. I tested anyways and got a positive at 9 DPO. Long story short, because of the IUD, there is a higher risk of ectopic pregnancy and that is a serious matter. Unfortunately they are not able to locate the fetus this soon, but you would need to closely monitor until they are.
Thanks yall! I did wind up going to the ER. It was dislodged and pressing into the left side of my uterus. They were able to take it out!
I am supposed to be getting an iud at my 6 week appointment in 3 weeks and hearing this made me a little nervous lmaoo
I got mine at 6 weeks and it’s been great. Everyone is different so I’d definitely suggest trying it. Stuff like this does happen but it’s not very often that it does.
Even though I got pregnant on the IUD, I will definitely be getting it again. It worked great until it didn’t. But I’ll likely be pairing it with another form of birth control (condom/tracking).
I didn’t mean to make you nervous! I’d still say this was the best birth control I’ve ever been on !
do you know why it moved?
I’m going to get it anyway. I was thinking about getting the non hormonal one
Nobody knows for sure, but they did find fibroids in my uterus. So that’s likely why.
do you have to wait until after pregnancy to deal with the fibroids and how do you feel about being pregnant now since it wasn’t planned ?
Apparently they are not big enough that I will need to get treatment for it.
And it was a big shock and I didn’t feel ready for it at all. But now I’m very happy and looking forward to meeting my first baby.
Aw okay well I hope everything goes well with that. And congrats on being a first time mommy!! I was there and now I’m 2 under 2 that’s why I’m nervous about the iud moving lmaooo I do not need 3 under 3 😂😂
