Answer
Hello Yvonne,

Thanks for your question. I'm not a doctor but I would recommend getting the IUD removed. I have researched this and have heard about the side effects of the IUD. I also have read accounts from women and how they got it removed, etc. Talk to your doctor about removing the IUD. Also, if he or she doesn't want to, you can get a 2nd opinion. Please email me at DWooley97@yahoo.com and tell me what is going on. Hope to hear from you soon.

Diane W.
