Before you remove your IUD-what you need to know| As told by a Nurse Practitioner

[@taylormilette6195]

my obgyn said the insertion wouldn’t hurt at all - it then proceeded to be the worst pain i’ve ever felt in my life thus far. I felt nauseous and couldn’t even stand because i was shaking so bad. I’m terrified to get it out but this video made me feel better. I wish we had sweeter obgyn’s like you

[@povalona1210]

I had the same experience... It was the worst pain ever. If I knew that, I wouldn't have decided to get it. My cervix is now traumatized - it's extremely sensitive. I'm so scared for taking it out, especially that my strings are not visible.

[@krystal2647]

I feel the same way, I’m terrified to get it out. I was bleeding for 66 days after and felt so sick

[@sheyg4148]

Ha !same it hurt more than anything I ever experienced

[@amandam4325]

I was also told that it would be painless and experienced a large amount of pain. I was also told that there would be no change to my monthly cycle (I was getting it for birth control and was asking what to expect after insertion). It's been 5 years and I'm scared to have it removed. This video helped a ton!

[@jesuison]

Same. The insertion was uncomfortable and I can handle pain pretty well. The cramping after insertion was mind boggling. I had to lock my office door at work and lay on the floor writhing in pain. Two days in a row. I thought I was going to pass out and throw up from the pain.

[@Samanthafontanamoschetti]

[@miatortillaa]

I’ve had the copper IUD for a week and am getting it taken out bc the cramps are killing me. Almost crying and hurts to move. Getting it put in was the most painful thing I have ever experienced, I passed out on the way home in the middle of crying in pain. Update: I got it taken out after 5 days of having it. Again, excruciating pain. 20 mins on the way home I was having a full on panic attack and couldn’t relax any part of my body bc I was in so much pain. After laying on a heating pad at home for about 10 minutes the 5 day pain was completely gone. I’ve heard it doesn’t hurt nearly as bad to take it out for some people. Looking back, it was horrible and I’d never recommend it to anybody just bc of that traumatic experience. The dr who took it out was very rough with my body when she opened my legs, didn’t give me a warning and just ripped it out and I was screaming in pain and said something along the lines of “hope you feel better have a good day”then walked out. I could hardly walk to the car. My husband was there every step of the process thankfully. They really need to knock us ladies out before inserting them.

[@vanessakambi893]

How was it, after removing. I have had it for a week and I can't find peace. It is very painful

[@miatortillaa]

Taking it out was just as bad and I had a panic attack which made it worse since all my senses were heightened. As soon as the cramps went away I was completely fine. They only lasted about 30 minutes. I had no bad symptoms other than those cramps. I’m so happy I got it removed

First IUD I had was Skyla. It was amazing! I got a very light period probably once every 3 months. Little to no symptoms. When I went in to get it replaced, they told me Skyla wasn't available so I got Kyleena. When they took Sklya out, I cramped right away and It didn't go away for like 10 minutes. The doctor told me to push through so she could place in Kyleena. I really don't like Kyleena. My symptoms have become worse, I have chronic migraines now and varied symptoms every month. I guess the only good thing is that my period is regular. I know exactly when it's coming. Getting this removed tomorrow, I'm so ready! 🙌

Hi Laura, I’m so sorry to hear this! There are many ways to prepare for this prior that can really help.

[@kristina4395]

I understand and i can only tell you what i would do... First time it was horrible for you coz u didn't expect it... There are big chances it will not happen because your body will go back to the state it was before, my two friends took iud out coz they were very depressed with it and felt such a release when it was out, they disnt experience a crash... They both said that maybe the were feeling like that with iud coz it was not fitting to get more progesterone and as soon as they got it out they felt like their old self... Idk if that is true.. but i do think its much harder when u are not prepared... When you know something could happen u can handle it better than the first time... Stock up a mont before with all the nutriants, vitamins, food, walks... Prepare your body and mind and face it... I believe in you and you can do it! Thats what i will do.. big chances that the fear was for nothing and we will just experience relief! 🎀 Good luck u got this

[@sarahstevenson2384]

What about when it’s not straightforward having it removed? My GP tried to remove it but couldn’t as it was too painful and I’ve been referred to the hospital to have it removed tomorrow and I’m terrified! Sorry if you cover this in your video, I’m still watching it at the moment

Update? How did it go for you?

[@sarahstevenson2384]

Sorry, they still couldn’t do it! I then got referred for a hysteroscopy and they STILL couldn’t remove it 🙈. The consultant told me it would be OK for another year and that I would have to have it removed via general anaesthetic in May this year … wish me luck!

Thank you so I spotted then next month a cycle now this month nothing but my body feels weird. I suppose to start the nuva ring with the start of my cycle which never came? I still inserted the ring should I take it out ot leave it in how do I keep track?

[@TheLadysGuide]

@Princess Vice hi there, thanks for sharing your experience and I’m sorry that happened to you. I am also a POC and vegan as well. I believe in informed consent which is why I created these videos to educate others so they can make the best choice for them.

[@TheLadysGuide]

Hi Trini, I’m a bit confused with your question. Have you recently started the Nuvaring or have gotten the IUD removed and desire to know when to start the Nuvaring?

[@trinimom7686]

I removed the IUD and was suppose to start the nuva ring when my cycle started. Well my cycle never started so I was unsure if I should still insert the ring

[@TheLadysGuide]

@@trinimom7686 got it! That is common to not get a period when expected for up to 3 months after IUD removal. The ring can be started anytime as long as there is certainty there is no pregnancy. If there has been no unprotected intercourses since IUD removal the ring can be started, left in place for 3 weeks followed by removal for 1 week.

[@sarahivey4225]

I had the mirena for 5 years. Got it out over a month ago. While on the IUD I had a pretty regular 30 day cycle. When I got it out, it took 2 days before the withdrawal bleed started and it lasted 7 days. It’s now day 35 and my back is killing me and my boobs are soooooo sore like before my period. I also thought I was fertility tracking and baby danced with my hubby.. turns out It’s not the same as my usual pattern soooo 🤷🏻‍♀️😬 I guess I just take a test every 2 weeks if no period

[@TheLadysGuide]

Hi Sarah, yes periods can be irregular for up to 3 months after IUD removal but that doesn’t mean pregnancy isn’t possible so taking a test would be the best thing to check what’s going on. 😊

[@jesicasemedar8226]

Hey Sarah, Just read your comment, and my advice to you is...if not pregnant yet, pls first ask your Dr for an HSG test to see whether everything's okay. I had the IUD in for 6 years, removed it and got pregnant 6months later, but ended up in an ectopic. Lost my right fallopian tube...and the only tube left is blocked. Tried some things here and there, but Dr told me only option is IVF...

[@SHRIBHAKTI-r7m]

After 6 years removed coper t so now planning foe baby 2 please reply wat about pregnancy ??? After removing iud 3 periods got over when I will be pregnant

[@amiyadiva2882]

Ig mine wasn’t so painful due to me getting it after having a baby my body was still stretched and it wasn’t painful at all for me just a slight pressure didn’t hurt as much as those contractions I was having so for everyone the insertion feeling will defer 😅now the removal might feel a lil intense after the SnapBack of having a baby

[@AM-xe4iq]

I think these practitioners should stop talking about whether women will experience pain or not. It is entirely subjective. Insertion of Mirena 5+ years ago was easy peasy. Very fast and I couldn’t even feel it. I just had it removed two hours ago and holy smokes! She could not see my IUD strings. It took her 4 attempts to get it out with forceps, graspers and a hook. It stung, was kinda painful and felt like heavy cramps. It was unpleasant but also not terrible. Also you must see your IUD when it comes out. That’s very important. You need to see that the procedure was done properly and nothing was left behind.

[@TheLadysGuide]

Hi Pranav, if you still currently have the IUD and missed your period then taking a pregnancy test is the first thing you need to do. Other things can cause a missed period but checking for pregnancy first is important.

Hey, thanks for the information. Today , I went to have my Paragard removed ( I’ve had it in for 3 1/2 years) but during those years I noticed hair thinning in my crown, ( I never had it before) weight gain and a few other side effects are what prompted me to have it removed. But during the removal ( the process was easy not painful at all) however one of my iud arms broke inside of while my doctor was trying to remove it. So now I am freaking out, tomorrow I have to go and have a ultrasound done to see if the broken piece is still in my body and where. This sucks and I just wish I never got it… Smh no more iuds for me!

Omg they could remove my IUD! For like 30mins I was in tears so painful and I need to go to the gynecologist to have it removed! Why is that?

[@TheLadysGuide]

Aw I'm so sorry to hear that. That is an uncommon situation but can occur for different reasons, one being if the strings were not visualized.

What happen if you bleed the whole month and I get the iud remove ? I am still gonna bleed again. ?? Or will happen ??

[@daniellejohnson3585]

Will the removal bleeding caused by the lack of the hormone release sill occur if you start birth control?

Hi Danielle, great question! It still may occur but sometimes switching to another method after IUD removal reduces the chances.

When i got mine inserted it was a piece of cake... The removal, however.... Wouldn't wish that pain on anyone. Also i wasn't shown the iud after it was removed, but that could be bc i had a severe panic attack. 🤷

[@krystinwingfield1685]

The last few times I’ve gone in, the doctor has not been able to locate my strings at all. Ive had an ultrasound, and everything is in the right place, but I am so so nervous for removal.

[@TheLadysGuide]

Hi Krystin, for removal they may use a special instrument that retrieves the strings. If your office has an ultrasound department within the practice that also makes things easier for removal.

[@sarahstevenson2384]

I flipping hope so!!

[@andiegc4805]

Can I get my iud romeved after a week of insertion?

[@LG777.mother]

I believe you can have it removed any time if you choose so or if something is wrong. I believe the doctor usually has you come back shortly after insertion to make sure it’s in right place and make sure no bad side effects etc. I also remember the first few weeks or months some ppl do have cramps or abnormal bleeding but it’s considered normal, it’s different for everyone like our bodies react differently takes a bit to get “used to it”. I recall having crazy cramps but nothing bizarre, didn’t last long, and I used to get cramps as a child (when first had my period) so again I felt it’s my own body getting used to changes. All this to say you can choose to do what ever you want but talk to doctor and talk to friends or family that had similar procedure to compare what is expected. Everyone is a little different, but it’s nice to know you are not alone if you not feeling 💯 Hope all is well.

Hi Giovanna, can you expand on your question further?

@@TheLadysGuide I wanted to know more about the hair thinning or even loss which was my case Because my estrogen levels after the removal were so low ( below reference values) my hair has began to fall It took about 2 months for it to start falling after the removal of mirena iud and hasn't stopped since

[@TheLadysGuide]

@@giovannaagnelli6752 I'm so sorry to hear that!. This indicates a hormonal imbalance and possible nutritional deficiency as well. Vitamins impact hormone balance. It is not something I have seen often in practice but it can occur.

My question is why i have heavy and longer period after my iud removal? Its already a month now..what is it?

[@TheLadysGuide]

Hi there, this is something that would need to be evaluated with your health care practitioner to determine what may be going on.

[@diandididian]

How long do I have to wait until I can use other form of contraception (for example pills) after I remove my IUD? I have a copper IUD and the cramps are so bad, I’m thinking of removing it

[@TheLadysGuide]

Hi Dian, there is no need to wait, it can be started right away. Severe cramps is a side effect of the copper IUD and most likely will resolve when removed. If the severe cramping continues it indicates a hormonal imbalance and looking for the root cause of this would be best before initiating the pill.

[@nancygomez3701]

Hey I had my IUD removed a month ago got my period yesterday is it normal to bleed heavy ?

[@TheLadysGuide]

Hi Nancy, "heavy" could be different for everyone. Its always best you check in with your provider to discuss your personal situation. Depending on the type of IUD you had, sometimes your first period after IUD removal does seem heavier if you were getting light to no periods.

Hi Alejandra! I would recommend having some blood work done to determine other possible causes. It is a bit odd since the Paragard is non hormonal.
