My IUD Issue

Okay so as I was saying in my "A little about me"... On My 6 week postpartum ob/gyn visit, one of the worst things happend. I went in to just get checked out. Me and my husband didnt talk about birthcontrol, so it wasn't on my mind! So as the nurse was checking me out she asked me if I was thinking of using birthcontrol an I said that I wanted to talk to my husband first before picking one. Then she asked me "How old are you and how many kids do you have?" My response was "22 and 2 children." Then she replied "Are you sure?" And I said "yes". When the ob/gyn came in to check me out he asked me the same thing! Then I said fine if im going to be on birthcontrol I want something that I don't have to worry about taking every day and I dont want the patch! He told me the Mirena IUD would be a good thing. He showed me the IUD. The only thing he told me about was that 1 out of a hundred people got pregnant with it in! He didnt tell me the sideaffects about it! He didnt even tell me about the cramping and the bleeding that happends when you get it put in! He just layed a pad on my cloths when he left my room after he put it in and said see you in a year! At the time I felt like I had no other choice but to do it, because they didnt want to leave me alone! After I had it put in the scare started! I was really crampy which I thought was normal since they put that plastic T shaped thing inside my uterus! So on the way home I started to read the pamphlet that they gave me about it when I left (which was weird to me). The one thing that stood out in my mind while I was reading, it was "Perforation of the Uterus" (going through the uterus). I thought to my self okay I wish that I would have know that! When I got home I took some IBprofren for the pain (which normal works for my cramp but it didn't). I was hurting really bad! In the middle of the night I had to get up and make my 6 week old daughter at the time a bottle. It was around 3am and as I was getting up I felt a really sharp pain on the right side of my abdoman, I could barly move. So I thought Just maybe that pain was normal but I couldn't find any thing like that in the pamphlet. So I desided to just wait it out and see if it would go away! By around 5pm my parents came to check on me to see how I was doing, because they were with me when I had it put in! And they desided to take me to the ER. I deside that if this is how it was going to feel I wanted it out (I really didnt want it there anyway). When we got to the hospital they almost sent us home, because they said that it was normal. But my Father jumped in and said to check me out good! When they checked to see if the String where in place they couldn't find them. Then the doctor at the ER tryed to tell me that i may have passed it when using the bath room, but i told him that i would have notested a Plastic T flooting in the Toliet! They did a Ultra sound to see if they could find it and they could not! I remember the doctor in the ER coming into the room and telling me that it wasnt where it was ment to be, and they couldn't find it and if they did they couldn't tell me yet! It was scary to me! Then the ob/gyn on call came in the room and said that I had to go into surgery to try to find it and that I may lose my uterus in the process. I never had surgery let alone a emergency one so I was Terrifide. When I woke up they said that It did go through my uterus and they found it floating in my abdoman under my belly button! Since the whole ordeal i have been trying to find people who have been through it too but no luck yet! I feel as though I the only one. And I wanted to let people know my story so that way people can know that this can happen to them. The chance of this happening to someone is 1 person to 1,000 people. I know thats alot but it happend to me!

A little about me!

Okay my name is Jessica and im 25 years old! I'm Married to a wonderful man named Matthew. We have 4 beautiful children. Our oldest Caleb who is almost 6 years old. Our Second oldest child Iris who is 3 years old. Our third child Gabriel who is 2 and our newbord Eden! So i've seen the ob/gyns alot and I feel as though I could be my own ob/gyn or others! I've had alot of ob/gyns well 4 or 5 of them! I've only really liked one and thats alot to say!! When you go to an ob/gyn you should always feel comfortable! And if you dont then dont be afraid to switch to another one! Its you body and if your pregnant then its your baby health too. Alot of me and my husbands friends come to me with alot of female and sometimes male problems! They like to call me Dr. Jess! So me an my husband goof around and say " I'm not a Dr. but i play one on tv." I love the medical field ( I watch the Discovery health channel and surf the web for alot of medical info). For along time I use to think that I wanted to go to Art school but my medical side was call me. At first I wanted to become an Ulta sound tech. but alot of schools that you have to go to aint around me or my family. Then After having our Second child Iris, at my 6 week postpartum check up is when i changed my mind! What happend that day and within the next 48 hours changed my life and the way i looked at ob/gyns forever!
