I finally got that darn thing out of my body!!! The doctor had to do it surgically but it was worth it just to get it out. My hips feel better allready. Been a little sore these last few days but it doesn't feel nearly as bad as when the IUD was in. I almost just feel a sense of relief. The doctor said I would bleed for a few weeks but I pretty much stopped the next day after surgery. We will see what happens I am on the pill so hopefully I will get a period at the end of the month. I never thought I would look forward to having a period. I will let you know how I feel as I go along. Thank you ladies for all of your input.
