IUD removed

[Sara1110]

So I had the paragard IUD from last October 2012 until July 23, 2013 when I had to have it removed as I was getting sick from it. My period cramps were worse than giving birth to all four of my children mind you the smallest was 8lbs and biggest was 9lbs 11oz all natural no meds. In august I had a normal period four days as usual on my thirty day cycle had been like clockwork as usual. After my period in August ended my stomach blew up like I was pregnant I am nauseous constantly and every pregnancy sign someone could have I experienced. I was a week late for my September period and when it came I barely bled the whole time where I didn't need tampon or pad. I took hcg tests all came out negative. Now I am almost due for the next cycle yet I am still nauseous and don't know what is going on. I have to wait for my insurance to kick In to see gyn as they want an arm and a leg without it to see them but has any one else who had IUD removed had these same problems or what could be wrong?

I had it removed in July and yes I am Anemic however I also know that which is why when my period was wayyyy toooo light last month I grew alarmed. Honestly it was barely there only blood when I wiped. So now that the weird period was on Sept 22nd I should start then if my cycle follows how it is supposed to however again I am not having period like symptoms no cramps, gas or even bloating and honestly it concerns me to know my cycle is messed up after having the IUD removed because it was normal the first month after it was taken out and now it's all crazy and although I could be pregnant all tests say negative and I am just so confused

Sara and Amber, you are probably anemic.  I had a copper IUD and I bled heavily for a year.  If it doesn't stop after a year, you need it out.  If you can't afford a regular ob-gyn, go to a health clinic and see if they can take it out for less.
