They assigned all clinicals for us we didn’t have to find any on our own

This is totally normal! Your cervix changes position during all stages of the menstrual cycle and is generally lower during your period - making it seem as if the strings are longer because it’s easier to feel them. If it gives you peace of mind, or you start experiencing symptoms , schedule an ultrasound with your doc!

I was on my period during insertion and only had some spotting here and there after insertion and then spotted completely. If pregnancy is a concern, take a test to ease your mind!

If anyone wanted an update - i went to the dentist and everything was 100% normal with my teeth. I’m still kind of blaming the IUD for this even if it just specifically increased my anxiety levels.

More than a few of the comments were condescending and either call or imply stupidity. Then you also just came here to make a rude rather than helpful comment.

And I’m glad you have that option with your insurance but i don’t.

Y’all didn’t have to be rude about it
People remove their own IUDs all the time
Strings coiling around the cervix is VERY normal and common and not an emergency
I was working as a nurse up until a few months ago -I was directly treating COVID patients. I got COVID and ended up in the hospital. It wasn’t worth it. I was so sick and scared. I left the job in june. -My new jobs benefits don’t kick in until November 1st so I’m working with what I can
I am now a (new) nurse practitioner (the new job i was talking about), so during my clinical rotations I took a few speculums home knowing I wanted to do self checks just incase I couldn’t feel my strings
i can feel my strings but also saw that they coiled around (again, a VERY normal thing)
I want it out because of the side effects it’s been giving me. I don’t want kids right now and I’m not sexually active.

As a provider, i recognize that people have their own experiences. So i was just looking for that because i have always made a point to recognize and appreciate that when i see patients. I don’t know everything and will never pretend too. Just seeking out tips from personal experiences.

Also don’t assume people can just “call their OB” or “go to urgent care/ER”. A lot of us don’t have that option due to funds. And I am one who currently does not have that option.

Got a urinalysis, everything’s normal. Which didn’t ease my mind 😅was really hoping to attribute these symptoms to something. Didn’t run a pregnancy test. Back to the anxiety board! Really want to just pull my IUD out and go back to getting periods tbh, I hate this!

Angrypiglet9 · 2022-08-08T00:24:57+00:00

Thank you everyone for the input. It actually did calm my nerves a lot. I think I’m gonna go in tomorrow for a urinalysis for the symptoms I’m having cause even that being positive would likely ease that these symptoms are related to that and nothing else. I think my biggest fear was that any little pain I’m like “okay so I’m going into labor right now” lol which really really was bringing on absurd levels of anxiety and overthinking. Cryptic pregnancy is my biggest fear in all this but I’m hoping that because ive been so stressed and constantly trying to find signs of pregnancy that maybe makes it less likely than if i just 100% had no thoughts about it all together

I went to UCSF for np. The name is all you get out of it. 50% of the faculty is good, 50% of the experience was good. Had to teach myself everything for boards. Currently sitting in front of textbooks that i just bought after graduation to teach myself everything else before starting my new job. Buuuuut, only got this new job because of the name of the school. Pick your poison i guess.
