IUD removal w/ anesthesia in U.S

[toobam]

I got the Mirena IUD in summer 2021 and HATE it, I would have already gotten it removed if it weren't for the severe trauma and pain I underwent with the insertion procedure. I don't want to share details but it was extremely traumatic and I wholeheartedly regret my decision to get one. I want to get it removed but I can't go through that procedure again without anesthesia. Does anyone know of where in the U.S. one can get an IUD removed under anesthesia? I live in Michigan, if anyone in Michigan has experience with this please let me know!!

@toobam Removal is a breeze compared to insertion

@toobam You don't need anesthesia, it's literally a turn your head, cough and it's out. I've had a menstrual cup remove one at home. No pain

@ashley03 lmao menstrual cup is not the same. wish it was

 

[ashley03]

@toobam My iud was removed by the suction of the menstrual cup. It was fine

@ashley03 maybe i’ll try that cuz i ain’t goin back to the gyno unless they offer me hella drugs

@toobam That's a terrible idea. Just go to the dr

@toobam My GYN was really accommodating during my insertion and said we could do a numbing treatment first. He gave me two shots of lidocaine into my cervix, a little pinching and some time to wait, then I didn’t even feel the moment it went in aside from the intense cramping.

Can you ask if that’s an option?

@abramsailor thank you I will!!
