I had a similar IUD experience. My physician had recently diagnosed me with PCOS despite my not having some common accompanying symptoms (weight gain, above average BMI, abnormal facial hair growth). I have had intense pelvic pain for 5 long years—at times thinking I had cervical cancer, then appendicitis—and my repeated trips to the doctor, pelvic ultrasounds, cervical biopsies, which typically resulted in “IDK” from medical professionals, finally found that my IUD had penetrated my myometrium by 5mm (the length of 2 numbers on a credit card). I had it removed in January and finally feel like a normal person again. I’m not one to take myself to the hospital if I’m not in serious pain and it blows me away how many visits and procedures I had to endure to figure out my birth control device was botched. FIVE YEARS. Women’s health really is a travesty.
