birth control
"I had it in for 5 years. Ok at first. Gradually started having VERY heavy periods, constant bacterial vaginitis, and after about 3 years was no longer able to feel strings. My ob assured me that was not so abnormal. I also began having anxiety, panic attacks, hair loss, and decided to have it out. Two attempts in the office were unable to remove it. It has embedded into my uterine wall. I had same day surgery to have it removed. Within 6 months anxiety, panic were resolved and hair loss levelled out. No more heavy periods or BV."
