Birth Control
"Effectiveness.. well I was the 1% of the population to get pregnant from the IUD. I ended up in the ER because of moderate to severe abdominal pain, bloating, and bleeding. I had weird symptoms and I didn&#039;t think it was time for my period so I called my gyno and she said I was probably fine but just take a pregnancy test (I was concerned my IUD shifted). The pregnancy test was positive so we knew something was very wrong so ended up in ER with an ectopic pregnancy and a huge ovarian cyst. I had emergency surgery to remove my Fallopian tube. I had the IUD for 5 months and it was not a pleasant experience, I had cramping that was severe even months after I got it put in, to the point I was hurled over. But it may have been the cyst growing."
