Hello. My name is rachel I am 24 yrs old and just gave birth two my first children (twins) in march 2010. They came a month early bc I got preclam. I got the merina inserted 12 weeks after the birth. I decided on the iud bc it was less to worry about and lasted 5 yrs.. the doc.s gave me a pill to dialate me and the insertion went like butter... didn't even feel a thing. I had some pretty heavy bleeding that lasted 3 months but everytime I calledthe doc they said it was normal.. everything was going great so I never went to the 6 week check up bc my insurence was cansled... but over the last month I have been noticing a lot of changes in my body.. a lot of people are telling me it might just be bc I had twins and that really takes a toll on ur body... I am also a smoker about a 1/2 a pack a day... I have been exsperencing migraines about everyday... sometimes to the point they put me in tears(wich only makes it worse) and nothing works for them wich it not normal for me... I have unexsplained weight gain.. befor I got preg. I weighted 179 and went up to 230 during the preg. Then after birth weighed 160. I am now 192... I am a pretty healthy eater and very active with the twins at the crawling stage and all... I am having chest pain alll the time. And it gets worse when I lay on my back, like there is always pressure on my chest... I have a discharge that I've never had befor but only when I was pregnant.. its white and creamy ad sweet smelling... also I feel very weak and faint... disorianted ad sometimes very confused... and sometimes just out of nowere my heart raises wich feels like 100mph... my hands start to shake and I feel like a school girl who just saw her first crush... my teeth are bleeding all the time out of nowere and I don't breast feed... my entier back hurts all the time, wich I though was just from carring two babies around...and my abdome hurts from time to time but it happens everyday... its like a sharp pinching feeling.. I mean it hurts but nothing to cry over... but itsmore anoying than anything bc I can't move when it happens... and on top of all that I have NEVER had a acne problem in my life and I an constly broken out all the time and they are taking a very long time to heal... any kind of scrach or broose or cut anymore just won't heal... I can still feel my strings but I don't know if they r any longer than they use to be my xboyfriend use to check them for me... they are pretty long I can just put the tip of my finger in and there they r... all of this talk about all of these side effect and stuff happining has me kinda freaked out... but I do love the iud.. but if my heath is at rick than its not worth it... could I be pregnant or r these side effects?? Should I get it taken out?? I don't know what to do bc I no longer have health insurence... I don't know if I'm being overly parinoied or if this is something I need to get checked out... plz someone help me with some advice! Thank u.... rachel
