Hello Kris,

I just read the forum on curezone.com. I know this was back in Feb 06 but I had my IUD put in on July of 06 and I am going Tuesday Jan 16th of 07 to get it removed. Everything was great after the insertion for almost 2 months. The insertion was the most excruciating pain I have ever encountered. My pulse plummeted, I was white as a ghost, broke out in a major sweat, and almost vomited. After about the 3rd day I was ok. My sex drive was still great, my husband and I were very happy together, I still worked-out 5 days a week, our business was growing so we found an office and had more work to do, I have 2 children, 12 and 7. I am a VERY active person, always on the go. I can be bitchy, but that's just my personality. I have to have almost everything on a schedule. House is always clean and I love to cook, especially deserts.

I know my body so well that when the slightest change occurs, I question it. Almost two months after insertion, I started fighting almost on a daily basis with my husband. I was waking up already pissed off at the world. I kept trying to explain to my husband that I wasn't mad at him, I was just mad and frustrated and I didn't know why. I stopped working-out completely. I had no energy to cook, clean, and go to work. My house looked exactly how I felt. (My husband would disagree with the house thing only because certain things out of it's place doesn't bother him like it does me.) I talked to my OBGYN back in Oct of 06 and she told me that it's probably "Seasonal Depression." That was the first time I have ever disagreed with her. I'm 29 and I have been seeing her since I was 15. I went in and talked to her about my hormones thinking that they were out of whack. She put me on Testosterone and Estrogen cream. I did that for about 6 weeks and stopped because it wasn't doing anything. Then I was put on the Nuva Ring end of Nov 06. That defiantly helped with the Acne and major mood swings. (The only negative thing with the Nuva ring, is that when removed for the one week period, I sweat tremendously at night) But I was still fighting with loss of energy and sex drive. So I went and saw my family doctor on last Wed Jan 10th of 07. He is great because he checks for everything. He likes to rule things out. The first thing he did was check my blood. (I won't get the results until early next week.) He said if that comes back normal then remove the IUD. If it's not that, then, maybe it is depression. I have known for a long time now that I wasn't depressed. I think I was putting myself in a mild Depression because I was so frustrated with myself and couldn't understand why I was feeling this way.

My husband and I have had so many conversations about my situation and I kept telling him that it seems like ever since the IUD everything started to go down hill. He couldn't see it at first, but when we started going back with how much sex we used to have (back in July, August of 06) when we started to fight all the time (back in September, October, November of 06) he started thinking the same way. He still thought it could be a form of Depression because it does run in my family on my mothers side.

After my husband left to go to work yesterday I decided to do some research on the IUD. First link I clicked on I couldn't believe what I was reading. Hundreds of women with the same problems. I felt so bad that they were all going through it, but I was happy I wasn't going insane. I have been printing women's complaints on here to give to both my OBGYN and my Family DR. so they can be updated on what the IUD is doing to hundreds if not thousands of women. I called my OBGYN yesterday and set the appointment to have it removed next week.

I didn't find your message until today. I know it's been almost a year since you posted this, but I still wanted to add to your list. I hope what you're doing helps many women out there not go through what many of us have already been through or are still going through. I just wish I found this forum months ago.

Please if you can, let me know how things went or are still going with the possible lawsuit.
