IUD removal
It’s been a week since I had my IUD removed. The doctor who did it was very interested in why I was having it removed. She had spent time working in an IVF unit and was really encouraging towards the importance of donors – it made me feel quite special! The removal didn’t hurt at all.
It is now a waiting game. After the removal I left a message with the nurses at Guys to let them know. I received a phone call from the nurse assigned with my case. She let me know that the drugs will be ordered as soon as I inform them that my cycle has started and if I have any problems, to let them know.
It’s been at least three years since I had a normal cycle; I have been pregnant, breastfeeding and had the IUD since then so my body seems to be affected with the normal hormone levels kicking in. It’s really surprising, I am very pre-menstrual at the moment – feeling very hot and tired but thankfully (for my husband) not too moody! It won’t be long until my cycle starts, things are certainly getting serious now.
