IUD Nightmare in Home

Omg so I’m not paranoid. The fucking mirena isn’t in my uterus according to ultrasound… But I can still feel it. Fuck me. It’s in my abdominal cavity, presumably. Omg.

Currently at hospital. I’ll update when I know more. Staring at my beautiful baby and hoping nothing gets in the way of this time together… Such as a foreign body in my abdomen. I love this kid too much to have some thing awful happen. I know I’m being alarmist but fuck me. This is such ridiculously bad luck.

*confirmed on xray it’s exactly where I thought it was, left side pelvic area. Likely in abdominal cavity or if I’m unlucky(er) perforating bowel. Basically it was inserted on an angle and it’s presumably gone straight through my uterus and out the other side. Still in hospital awaiting further examinations. It’s almost a year to the day since my (very abnormal, rare and serious) sepsis from retained products of conception which landed me in hospital for a week… Now this? Seriously. Wtf universe?!

*it’s now 6am and I’m at the hospital again (went home at midnight last night) awaiting emergency surgery. There’s a fairly high chance they won’t be able to remove it today but they’re going to attempt (if I don’t get bumped from the list).

I have this really irrational fear/visualisation of something awful happening when I’m under. I know it’s unlikely… but this whole situation is unlikely. I don’t want anything to come between this perfect little newborn and I.

**in recovery, alive and sans marina. Woo.
