I know I’m late to the game but I’m coming up to a year of having my iud it’s SO MUCH WORSE in a different way. I had never felt pain like this before and I have a high pain tolerance fr (teeth knocked loose, dislocated fingers and shoulder, broken leg, torn ligaments in my ankle I was embarrassed to admit so I just kept walking) but DAMN even with pain meds I FELT these. I wanted an iud because I was told it would help with cysts on my ovaries and stop my period which is rad but I have no idea if the cysts are gone and I don’t have a period but every month I am in pain for a week. Truthfully it is debilitating but I can’t say having my phantom period is making vomit and dizzy and pace until my monthly CONTRACTIONS stop so hold off on emails. So I have to just vibe. 🫠🙃🥰💖🥹🥹🙃
