Question: Has anyone removed an iud(copper) on their own.?
Answers:
I sincerely hope that you do not do this.
I cannot stress enough just how dangerous this is for you. The same way that it requires a doctor to insert an IUD, it requires a doctor to remove one.
Removing this device on your own can result in permanent damage to you such as tearing and permanent scarring, and most dangerous of all, hemorrhaging. You could bleed to death before they even get you to the hospital.
Call your OB/GYN and schedule an appointment to have the device removed correctly.
If it is a matter of cost, call your local Planned Parenthood office. They offer low-cost and in some cases, free treatment.
Take care and I wish you well.Health Question & Answer
