I had my son on the first of August, had the IUD put in on September 20th. I've just had it removed last week. I can say honestly I was completely miserable the entire time. I bled the entire time it was in. Not a day passed that I did not bleed. The cramps were so bad I was given Lortab, and that did nothing to quell the intense pain. I felt terrible all the time. I'm 21 years old, and I was so exhausted that I didn't leave the house for two weeks. The mood swings got so bad my S/O and I considered splitting (we didn't). I actually was so depressed at one point I considered killing myself. Then around thanks giving my hair started falling out in clumps. That is when I said "enough is enough, It is this damn IUD" I had to actually search for someone to remove it. The only person willing to take it out was a planned parenthood doctor, and I had to pay the fee out of pocket. Most of my hair has fallen out, or broken off. However, I feel so much better, no pain, no bleeding, no insane mood swings. My hair hasn't grown back... but I can ware a scarf. lol.
