Re: IUD Warning

My endo pain started after getting an IUD. It caused horrible cramping
that caused me to expel the IUD. Also, it made my periods much heavier,
so maybe that caused the retro-grade bleeding that seeded my endo (just
speculating). Now I have a 5-cm endometrioma and terrible pain every
month.
