“Looking back I realize my IUD side effects started right away but I didn’t realize it.—I had a lot of unexpected things going on in my life that month so I wasn’t giving enough attention to how much I was bleeding.

I was bleeding steadily and I didn’t stop bleeding for a week and a half after getting the IUD. I was thinking, “Ok, this is an adjustment time.”

When I look back, I see how abnormal it was.

The other early warning sign was that I had a massively sore tailbone. I could not sit down. It started a week after I got it—I couldn’t sit in the car, and it was constantly aching. It wasn’t until over 10 months later when I got on the support group with other women and I saw it in the side effects.

It’s considered to be an early warning sign. It has to do with the inflammation in that whole area.”
