In April 2008, I had my 2nd child, a boy.
8 weeks postpartum I had a Paragard IUC
placed through my cervix, into my uterus.
My s/o and I had begun having sex again at
our 6 week mark, and I felt everything and
was back to normal (meaning as tight as
I've always been). The day I got this
foreign object (I now think of it this
way), it hurt unbelievably bad and sex
hasn't been enjoyable, period. I only do
it for my s/o, who deserves the best! I
complain that I can't feel it, and it's
"loose," but he claims otherwise, that I'm
just as tight as I've ever been. I
constantly have mucus coming out of me
(which I looked up, and it was nice to
know that I should get used to that
because that's the way this form of BC
works, by thickening your cervical mucus
to kill and block the sperm.). No one told
me this, as well as many other things. I
also am having Yeast infections like
constantly. I've never had a yeast
infection, except for the one time I did
when I was pregnant. My body feels like
it's falling apart! I have nothing to
blame it on, except for this IUC!
I'm very much considering finding a doctor
(I just moved out of Indiana, away from my
OB-GYN, to Michigan) and getting this
thing removed! But then, how won't I get
pregnant?? I've srsly tried everything.
Every BC method has atleast one body
altering effect! Please, please help!

I forgot to mention...
After having Braeson, I felt comfortable
with the amount of healing my body, vagina
and all had progressed to. But, since the
day they placed the IUC inside me, it felt
like and still continues to feel like my
body is trying to 'cope' with this foreign
object and is trying to do it's best to
heal... BUT, since the IUC, my vagina just
got tore apart (not literally, but it sure
felt like it!) and hasn't healed or
progressed any healing beyond that point.
My vagina actually feels in worse
condition after the IUC, compared to just
having Braeson.
Thanks everyone!
