I went to the doctor yesterday for test results. I have had an ultrasound and xray to locate the Mirena which is not in my uterus. Now I have to have a ct scan to make sure it's not near my spine and I'm so scared and angry.
Has anyone else had this experience?
I continue to gain weight rapidly. Last week I could fit a size 20 and this week I need to buy a size 22. I've gone from a size 16 to size 22 in 5 months. I'm so sad and my skin is prickly and itchy and my feet swell something awful. My ob/gyn is not being supportive and she appears to minimize what I've experienced. I'm looking for another doctor so I can find out where this IUD has disappeared to.
