Finally! I have been searching the web for months to find prove that I am NOT crazy, and that the strings on IUDs are a life-altering. I was implanted with the Paraguard in early June(because I cannot have hormone birth control) and I havent had sex since. I tried once in early August,but it hurt him so bad we had to stop...Needless to say he never came back-and I dont blame him. This IUD has caused me pain& grief since day 1. I had endomitris so bad I went to ER. Im alone,in pain, and need a non-hormone BC, so I'm stuck. What should I do?
