hello ladies,
i am a single gal with no kids, in a great relationship. i had a copper iud (no hormones) inserted at the end of december 05. it was rough at the beginning (cramps, heavy periods) but that seemed to improve.
lately i am having what feel like bad menstrual cramps throughout the entire month, with bloating and an urgent need to pee (but really don't have to). I saw my gyn and she ultrasounded me: cyst on one ovary, and "tiny" fibroid. neither of these should cause the increasing pain i am having.
I am starting to think the pain may be related to the IUD. i have a small uterus, tipped back a bit, and as I said, have never had children.
Has anyone else had problems like this with their IUD? did it help to have it removed?
Thanks so much for any advice.
