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!
