I thought I had a forgotten about tampon “lost” within me, Googled and apparently it can’t get lost.

Husband tried to remove it (was really romantic 😳) and I eventually removed it except it wasn’t a tampon, I have accidentally removed my Mirena 🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈.

I am waiting for 111 to call me back, I feel like such an idiot🙈🙈.

Poor you. That sounds dreadful. Has your dear husband recovered from the expedition ........................

modgepodge I didn't use tweezers thank goodness!

EveryFlightBeginsWithAFall · 27/06/2021 22:25

I removed mine myself . It came out with a tampon. Didn't feel a thing

How the hell does a coil stay in anyway, and what does one look like? Like how big?

Birminghambloke · 27/06/2021 22:29

New career for hubby…

mynameiscalypso · 27/06/2021 22:29

A colleague once did this when very drunk. She rang me in the morning to tell me and ask me to come up with an excuse and to tell our boss that she would be in late that day. Luckily he was the kind of man who didn't ask too many questions when I hinted that it was 'women's troubles'

Besswess88 · 27/06/2021 22:29

I considered asking my husband to use tweezers 🙈🙈

@modgepodge i heaved reading that! Was she ok? That's horrendous!

@Bingowingslikeashieldofsteel - I've done that before. It was v dry and uncomfortable. I don't pull my tampon strings down and whilst I've never lost one (yet) I occasionally miss and pinch myself, which hurts!

Once forgot to remove a v mini one (end of period, barely anything there anyway) before sex and my poor then bf was a bit confused by how dry & overly tight it felt and stopped v quickly. He was v gracious about the "rope burn" on his penis! Blush

@Legoninjago1

Wow - I just paid £125 to have mine removed privately as my GP doesn't do it! Your DH could make a fortune. 😆

😂😂😂

@Buggerthebotox

I lost a tampon. It's really easily done. I forgot to tug the string when putting it in. Blush. It refused to come out of its own accord and a had to have it removed by a nurse.

A coil though - ouch.

No, it's really not easy to lose a tampon. In fact, I'd go as far as to say it's impossible. There's nowhere for it to go.

Not being able to get it out is another matter, although you should fairly easily be able to get your fingers either side of it even if the string is tucked up there, especially if you use a little lubricant.

Squat and cough.

Baluchistan95 · 27/06/2021 22:42

Oh, dear.

NewlyGranny · 27/06/2021 22:46

Oh. My. Life. My buttocks and my eyes clenched up reading this thread!

IToldYouIWasCummins · 27/06/2021 22:48

Cripes. That’s a lot of rummaging.

🤣

MrsPatrickDempsey · 27/06/2021 22:55

Maybe you could give Britney Spears a ring - doesn't she want her iud removed? (Sorry - that was in bad taste but I couldn't help myself)

Pandoraslastchance · 27/06/2021 22:57

OK, thats enough mumsnet for tonight. I've never been able to feel my iud strings but then I've got short fingers.

Shehasadiamondinthesky · 27/06/2021 22:59

I've lost three coils, my body just rejected them, it felt like having horrendous period pains and then the coil just fell out. My GP couldn't understand it as everything was quite normal "up there".

jayho · 27/06/2021 22:59

My copper coil came out after a rather sensational series of orgasms..... we'd gone for lunch after (I was peckish ;) ) and I'd felt something. I took the MAP and had it re-inserted.... Still look back on that special morning with fondness....

On the other side, had to go to gp to have a lost condom located and removed, mortifying.

Summerfun54321 · 27/06/2021 23:01

This thread title should be “things you’ve lost and found in your vagina”.

ThatsNotMyReindeer · 27/06/2021 23:01

Jesus. I remember when I had mine removed I nearly hit the ceiling.

Nurse: don't worry, they can't get stuck or anything
Yank
yelp
Nurse: oh, it was stuck...

It's out now. unless you have pain/temp/smelly discharge no need to talk to 111. They will probably send you a blue light ambulance......🤦‍♀️
Theunamedcat · 27/06/2021 23:03

I've forgotten a tampon and put a second one in when I pulled it out both came out it felt like I tugged my stomach down not painful just....wrong I check properly now

MissGendered · 27/06/2021 23:05

I removed my own abdominal drain.

BastardMonkfish · 27/06/2021 23:29

This thread has made me feel a bit lightheaded Blush and to make it worse for everyone I will add, I forgot a tampon once and after a couple of days it stank to high heaven.
