IUD Update

I thought I'd update on my IUD. I get a little graphic here so if you can't stand to read about women issues then it's time to exit :-) thank you.


I'm really happy with my IUD and starting to feel like it's too good to be true and I might end up pregnant one of these days. I was reading on an IUD message board that some ladies were getting pregnant with the Paragard and that just scared me. I was letting it get to me too much that I decided to leave it in God's hands. I'm fearful of getting pregnant b/c I just had a c-section and I don't think that would be a good idea as for the baby, I'd welcome it with open arms but I want to be completely healed before getting pregnant again. Also, we're still up in the air about having more babies in the future, I'd love to have more but Naty says he's done, then I say I'm done when Nate is having a bad day then I change my mind so that's how we've been this whole time. I just want to STOP worrying so much and just pray to God for the right guidance.

As for the IUD, I did bleed for the first couple of days then it started to fade, then I got a really HEAVY period that didn't seem to be going away. I was clotting really bad and those were painful to pass.  The cramps were really bad and I felt like I was constantly cramping, like my body was trying to reject the IUD. I'm now period free which I think has to do with breastfeeding so I'm glad that's resolved. Another thing I experienced was Prego Brain, I felt like, "ddddddddduuuuuuuhhhhhhh" all the time. I'd grab something and drop it, or bump into things, trip, forget things and I just couldn't get it together. I'm happy to report that the Prego Brain is GONE and I'm now feeling NORMAL. So, if anyone is considering an IUD, I'd highly recommend it, well that's if I don't get pregnant ;-)
