Another update!!
I finally got home x .x my appointment was at 1040 am so its...been a long day to say the least 😅
I have this IUD, Mirena, in me. A contraceptive placed in your uterus.
At the er visit, they discharged me because they said that it was appropriately placed and everything is a-ok!!! (which confused me because they had to put me on morphine to alleviate my pain and they sent me home with alleve??)
Anyhow, I had the appointment with my gyn today and she confirmed she saw the report but wasnt able to view the ultrasounds (two different hospitals, the er wasnt a kaiser building)
She tried to find my strings, no luck.
So she said, lets so an ultrasound removal (because i told her to get it tf out). Anti-Cramp shot given and then local anesthesia applied, they went digging around. LEMME TELL YA!!! that local anesthesia did NOT help omg. horrible.
AND GUESS WHAT THEY COULDNT FIND IT!!!!
which is super concerning.
Normally youre supposed to just be able to pull the strings and out it comes. But my mirena was no where to be found.
I have to have a hysteroscopy in order to have it found and removed (which i hope will be successful because then where tf could it be). But thats not going to happen until the 23rd of August. Im in SO MUCH PAIN, so these next three weeks will be fun funFUNFUNFUN (not really).
Thankfully, my gyn was generous and understood that I have a high pain tolerance so for me to be showing im in this much pain. So she sent me home with prescription tylenol and some percocet (thank goD).
TL;DR
IM HOME NOW but Im in incredible pain so im going to give it a few and let this percocet set in and then ill get to work!!!
THANKS GUY 💖

Here's to your next appointment, and hopefully you can get it all squared away.
I had the implant removed recently after 3 years (constant spotting and severe moodswings hoorayyyy goodriddance) but did consider the IUD before going back on to the pill (a different pill than the one I used before the implant, which gave me migranes yay) which has had a lot less side effects than anything I've been on before! I've heard a lot of success stories from the all the IUD types but also a lot of horror stories and GEEZ the one you're going through sounds awful I'm so sorry D: I really hope they can sort it and the pain meds will help in the meantime! The implant felt suuuper weird in my arm and I had times where I could mentally feel it in there and I'm pretty squeamish haha.
Female contraception sucks and it baffles me that some people really still dont believe it can cause depression, much stronger moodswings and other nasty side effects, not to mention shit like this that can go wrong aagh! I really hope they can get more funding for Vasagel :CC
