"this is my first time trying birth control. had my iud placed on the 16th of this month. insertion was fine; it was quick, and it feels like period cramps when it&#039;s being inserted. i felt great the first day, but by the 2nd day, i had tremendous amounts of pain. i had back pain, abdominal pain, leg pain, and neck pain which i never had before. it got worse as the days passed, and all i could do was lay in bed. i had severe pain which would make me yelp. intercourse was painful and uncomfortable. i scheduled a follow up appointment because i wasn&#039;t able to feel the strings for the past 3-4 days. appointment was today. turns out the iud was partially expelled, but i don&#039;t know how long it had been expelled for. i don&#039;t recommend this at all."
