Ever since October of 2025 I have had crazy periods that were super heavy and very sharp random and sudden pelvic pains. These pains were so intense the only thing I could was hold still or curl up in a fetal position until they went away. They probably occurred about once or twice a month. They did not seem to have anything to do with my cycles as they would occur whenever. Back then I had the copper IUD Paraguard. At this point I had had it for about 3 years. I decided that my cycles and the pains were coming from my IUD and that I could live with it as the alternative was being without BC (I do not like hormonal BC). Fast forward to the April/Match of this year and I decided I had had enough. I had been spotting on and off for weeks at a time. Me and my boyfriend discussed and agreed that I should have it removed and we would work around avoiding pregnancy but if it happened, it happened. We are both in our late 20’s and have been together for 5 years. I scheduled the appointment and got it removed. I discussed with my doctor all my symptoms and she agreed all these symptoms were most likely from the IUD. I thought it was weird that I had had this IUD for 3 years with no problems up until now but I figured my doctor knows what she’s talking about. She did go ahead and schedule me an ultrasound just to be sure everything was okay. My ultrasound was scheduled a couple months out. About 3 weeks after my appointment I get the heaviest period of my life. Huge clots. The whole 9. I waited a week, then two, then suddenly it had been almost 2 months with non stop bleeding. I waited until my ultrasound and dealt with the fatigue and depression of not knowing what is going on with my body. I got my ultrasound results and they noticed my uterine lining was about 3 mm and I had (potentially) a very small uterine polyp. My doctor said I had options. I could have a hysterscopy and get it removed, or take a medication that would stop the bleeding. I opted for the latter. A week
