sorry if a similar thread has been posted already, but i was just curious . . .
i had the paragard copper t iud inserted yesterday morning & let me tell you, it was the worst pain i've ever felt in my life! not only was i uncomfortable because my regular obgyn was not available to insert it so another doctor in the same office had to do it & he had an intern following him around all day, but when he told me i would feel some slight discomfort, i could not fathom the cramping i was about to feel. i literally felt like i might poop myself right on the table, although luckily i did not. my obgyn told me i had to be on my period when they inserted the paragard & was prescribed medication to take vaginally the night before & morning of my appointment to help soften my cervix since i have never been pregnant. the total procedure took about 5 minutes & i was good to go. since my boyfriend was at work, i had to drive myself home and although i was cramping, i felt able to drive.
however, as the day went on the cramps got worse. i took an aleve before my visit & it did not seem to help at all. the only relief i could find was with my heating pad, which i ended up burning myself with, leaving a nasty little blister on my abdomen
a couple hours after insertion, i noticed a creamy brown discharge that looks like melted milk chocolate on my sanitary pad. when i wipe, it appears to be old blood, but it looks scary on the pad. has anyone else experienced this with the paragard?
it has now been over 24 hours since insertion & i feel 100 x's better! the cramping has almost completely gone away, and although that nasty discharge is still present, it is no where near as heavy as it was last night. i am still a bit leery about it however, i've heard of a lot of women having bad experiences with paraguard & it makes me a little anxious. although i suppose everyone is different & what might not work for one person might be a solution for the next.
has anyone else had a similar experience with paragard like i have? i'm praying this will be my lifesaver since i have been on the birth control pill for 2 years prior to getting the iud (ortho lo, ortho novum & yaz) & the hormones made me ill.
i am a 20 year old female with overall good health & have been in a monogamous relationship for almost 3 years now.
