So I've been having some really frustrating side effects with my paragard IUD: long, heavy periods that leave me exhausted, icky cramps, mid-cycle cramping, etc.
That being said, I've decided to have it removed and go back to using a diaphragm.
I just called my gyno office to make an appt. I was not able to get in with my regular doc but will see the nurse practitioner next week, which is fine.
However, the receptionist was totally rude about it. She questioned why I want it removed and suggested I just wait until my annual exam. She also rudely said that it might not be covered by my insurance (will have to check). Wtf lady? It's my body!
Thanks for listening. I hate dr offices and just found this highly annoying.

Re: Dr office vent
Sorry the IUD isn't working out very well, and that the receptionist wasn't the most pleasant to speak with.
Not sure how long you have had it for, but I remember reading that it can take 6-9 months for your body to get used to it and most people have heavy periods before they go away completely.
But hopefully whatever you decide, insurance will cover it and not have a problem.
