Pelvic Inflammatory Disease!
So, I just saw my doctor today because I was put on the Nuva Ring to try as birth control. But I noticed some discomfort and I took it out a few days ago. This morning, I woke up in blood. And it is not my period because I just had mine on Nov 22 til the 30th.
So, he now thinks I may have PID. I am not exactly sure what it is. Or how someone gets it. Or what to do! He put me on two prescriptions for it. But I am kind of panicking!!
Any one with any information on it would be great!!!
