i have had mine in for almost 3 years now. before reading this i figured my symptoms were not related to my IUD. That is not the case. Tomorrow morning i am getting this thing taken out. i have had a 2-3 year long yeast infection that wont go away with vaginal irritation. i exercise and eat healthy and i continue to gain weight. i do moderate house work and i have severe back pain. my doctor made me think exercise was the magic cure. but pushing through that pain is hard. i have the depression, my hair did change i feel so different. i used to be able to just run and play. I am 26 and all i want to do is sleep and sit.It is refreshing to know that i am not going nuts. Thank you to all of the women with the courage to post their questions and stories.
