Birth Control...Other than the pill?

I know! It sounded weird to me, also. I guess "inserting it in the wrong place" is not the best explaination for what happened. Let just say, it was inserted at the wrong time. At first I thought it just fell out and she didn't know it, but after asking a lot of questions, I found out that the she had it inserted almost right after she gave birth to her second child. Her womb was still a bit swollen and when it shrunk, scar tissue formed around the IUD. I don't know why the Dr. let her have this done so soon after delivery. One of those really rare and bizzare things that happened.

Yikes. But it does make sense.

Jeeze! What was her doctor thinking?

When I got mine, it was a few months post fibriod surgery. My fibroid was located at the top of utereus and extended almost entirely into the cavity. My doc said that had we tried to use an IUD prior to the second surgery, it likely wouldn't have been effective because it wouldn't have been positioned correctly. BUT, he did plenty of verification prior to insertion and things have gone along swimmingly.
