I am 44 years old and I had the IUD put in just before Thanksgiving. Had no pain the day it was placed, but have been in pain every day since. I went to the doctor and had an ultrasound about a week after and he said the pain was not from the IUD at all, but from a cyst on my left ovary. He gave me some pain meds. and told me to come back in a week. I just went to see him today and he asked how i am feeling. I told him the pain is always there on my left side and it is not getting any better. He said I hate to take it out cuz it has been less than a month. I said I thought the pain was being caused by the cyst? He said no, it is definitely from the IUD, we can take it out today or you can give it more time to see if your body adjust. Some women never get comfortable, or adjust. I told him I would give it another week and then I started searching online for other women's complaints. After reading all these horror stories, I think I will call him tomorrow and schedule getting this thing out of me. I had it placed to control some bleeding issues, not for birth control. I know I would rather have irregular bleeding than all this undue pain.
