Please help me, I feel like this is not normal

[Emilyamw]

Im 18 and im only with one person. i had an IUD put in on the 22nd I believe it was and VERY painful, the doctor seemed shocked with my level of pain but I played it off like it wasn't that bad ( even tho it was) and they told me that the pain would stop after a couple hours, it's been some time now and every morning and night like right before dinner time my hips and sides and My Cervix  start to get this stabbing pain. And when I'm in bed I have to lay flat on my back or the pain becomes to much for me. I also have been Constipated every day cents I've got it in. I read online to " feel for the string"  and I tried that and didn't feel anything maybe because I have tiny hands but I don't know. I'm also have a strange Pain in my right upper thigh. And I don't know if it has anything to do with it but it hurts. Will these things just stop one day? If so how long from now because I don't know it I can Handel this. Please someone give me something.

Hi there,

Just finished reading your comments. Personally, if this is causing you so
much pain and discomfort, I would make an appointment with your family
doctor or basically whoever put the IUD in. Maybe it was your gynecologist.
Anyway, there are other birth control methods which are not painful.
I wouldn't go for birth control pills though. Whatever you do don't start taking
Yasmin or Yaz both of these bc methods are very dangerous. Birth control
pills can also cause heart attacks, strokes and other dangerous conditions.
Don't put up with the pain associated with the IUD. Make that appointment
with whoever put it in you and have the IUD taken out. Be well. Eve

I had the paraguarg IUD in for 5 years and it did hurt very badly to have it placed, but after that I feld a little pain here and there nothing like your describing. Since you have been having these pains quite a while after placement then it may be time to visit your GYN to have it removed and discuss another form of birth control. Just remember everybody reacts differently to thesse types of thing.Don't put yourself through that kind of pain if you can avoid it.
