Anxiously Waiting...

So... I went to my OB/GYN yesterday for my annual exam. Just a routine check up to make sure everything is okay, or so I thought. She did the pap smear and went to check the strings of my IUD and they were no where to be found. She said if I hadn't told her I had an IUD, she wouldn't have known I even had one.

She sent me to the ultrasound room right away to see if my IUD could be located. Well, she found it, but it is not where it should be; not even close. It migrated up to the front of my uterine wall and it is embedded there. It is actually about to puncture a hole through my uterus. I have been experiencing a lot of pelvic pain lately, and my doctor believes that is the cause.

I am supposed to receive a call this morning from the doctors office to schedule a Pelvic CT scan to find the exact placement of the IUD, since the ultrasound just gave a general idea of the area it is in. My OB/GYN says that if it is where she thinks it is, it will have to be surgically removed.

I'm freaking out waiting for this call and I need a hug. =(
