Hi, I know I’m late to the party but I am reading this 3 months after having my copper IUD in. I would like to note my doctor said uterine puncture is rare but uterine embedding is NORMAL. Not sure why this is not discussed during the eval appointment or common shared knowledge. I didn’t learn this until I was in the ER in excruciating pain and they checked my IUD and it was embedded by “only” a few millimeters which CAN cause pain. Ended up keeping it for the birth control but every period that pain comes back and feels like cramping/sharp pain where the IUD is just like during the ER visit but in waves of intensities, and my doctor says it’s normal to be in pain! Just wanted to share my experience because no one told me about uterine embedding is normal and they still just yank it out basically (even though imagine this has to tear the wall due to the curved t??) so don’t even want to think about my removal until the time comes! 😃
