Any IUD horror stories?

[showdogz]

So I have myself in a tizzy that maybe the iud I have has done something crazy and will lead to making me infertile or something. Just random thoughts to freak me out? Anyone know of anyone that this happened to? Should I call the OB office and get it taken out. Hahaha, not really but I have been tempted.

I've only hear of one woman having trouble, and she had an ectopic pg and had to have a tube removed. She had difficulty getting pg but does have 2 children now.

I love mine and have never had any issues, I've had it for 4 1/2 years.

No issues with my paraguard, other than my monster blood bath periods that eventually returned to normal after a few months.

No issues with my mirena. I love it. I have no periods with it, which makes me kind of paranoid. I use a lot of wondfos.

I have the mirena. I do have random, annoying spotting a lot and pretty bad cramping sometimes but overall it's worked well.

I have a friend who got pregnant on Paraguard. She got it removed and the child is fine. I think her DH has super sperm though. All 3 of her LOs were unplanned but while using protection. I haven't had issues with my Mirena

Ha! We only used condoms and the pill. Never an IUD

Much better then!  We only use condoms too so maybe I have a chance for my oops baby around January.

I had the Mirena until it slipped down, so I had it removed.

I probably would have gotten paragard since it has no hormones and I cant\'t have hormones BUT I took 2 semesters of Microbiology and that shit freaks me out!

What did you learn that freaked you out?!

I had Mirena for 3 years pre-kids and had no issues. I won't be getting it again though, we'll pull 'n pray until we're done and then H will get the snip.
