"i have had my iud for the 2nd time and always loved no period,  no hormones,  amazing.  after 9 years i went to have it removed.  they can&#039;t find it. last  year i started having periods,  horribly painful , gaining weight,  extremely emotional and now i have rectal bleeding on a regular basis.  the hormones have been so unbareable that a year ago i tried to overdose.  i chalked it all up to depression,  yet my life is amazing and i have always enjoyed living it with my amazing  kids and husband. i  have had 2 exploratory surgeries and they can&#039;t find it. i am miserable and feel as if i&#039;m going crazy. i know it is still in me and i&#039;m hoping anyone can share a similar experience with positive results."
