So I had my IUD removed in May of 2017 and we have been TTC ever since. I had a chemical pregnancy in September of 2017…

I went to the doctor today and a midwife tried to remove the IUD. She wasn’t able to get it out. She called me while later and said the gals at the office reviewed my case and it looks like the IUD still in me is the paragard that I asked to have removed in 2012 to be replaced with the mirena. Sounds like the doc that went to replace the paragard never actually took it out and put a mirena in on top of it... so for a while I had two IUDs in place.

So now I go back on the 29th for a doctor to try to remove it with the aid of an ultrasound. If that doesn’t work, then surgery is the only other option... and that doesn’t sound cheap.

I’m so frustrated right now, it’s hard to not cry. I’m relieved that our infertility issues don’t seem to stem from any biological issues but I’m frustrated that this shouldn’t have been an issue to begin with. None of the docs or midwives from this office seem to have ever heard of this happening so it’s equally as mind boggling for them. But now I can narrow it down to when it happened.

Yet another reason I refuse to use birth control lol

So my sil had a similar experience. She wanted hers removed. Doctor didn't read the chart fully. But when he went in to remove it "it was gone" he said he couldn't find it and it must've fallen out according to him. Sil was good with that. Struggled to conceive for almost 2 years and when she did it was an ectopic. And the scan revealed her iud was displaced for sure. As it was a tech not a doctor she had to wait to have the iud removed till the next week. Odd situation, completely mind boggling. But it happens I understand dictors are people too but need to pay closer attention.

What the hell.... What kind of doctor did you go too.. that's crazy.

This is mind boggling 😳 wtf???

Wtf?! My mind is blown too!

Either that, or the doc screwed up when they went to replace my first iud and instead of take that one out, they just put a second one up in there??

So your saying your IUD was removed in May of 2017 but not actually removed and left randomly floating around in your uterus for a year?

What the heck
