Freaking out! Can anyone help?

I have had 3 coils inserted before. I had one put in around a year ago and the insertion was chronic. I’d rather have had another baby. He told me to tell him if it hurt too much and the pain was so utterly horrific I couldn’t speak when I tried to.
I felt like there was a problem there and then. Where they usually pull back and then push the coil out of the tube it literally felt like he rammed it into the top of my uterus.
I told my GP because after a few weeks I couldn’t find the threads. I went in and she managed to find them.
I phoned her again recently and requested a scan because I just know something isn’t right- it’s either embedded or my body is reacting to it in some way. Either way I need it removed and I didn’t want to risk them pulling it if there is something wrong.
I’m lying here at 3am trying not to panic, but I really am.
My ultra sound isn’t until next Thursday.
I’ve been in pain and spotting for a week now if not longer (it’s usually on and off over shorter time). I will have ovulated in there but it doesn’t feel like that, it isn’t one sided.
I’m just really scared.
Can anyone give me any advice?

It’s good you’re getting a scan.
But I think you’ve worked yourself into a real panic. If you are in unbearable pain then obviously a&e.
Have you taken pain killers?

I’ve not taken painkillers because I didn’t want to mask it and not know if the pain was getting worse if that makes sense.
Just scared because I know something feels really wrong.

How are you today op

Hiya.
Thank you for checking back in with me!
I had the doctor out yesterday and she had a feel of my tummy and said that it was soft and things.
I’m still having pain and my boobs are honestly agony the past 2 days. I don’t even remember it being that bad when I was pregnant with DD. Enough to make me scream.
The doctor said a&e wouldn’t scan me and would just have given me some pain killers to ride it out to my scan next week. So she gave me some and that helped me sleep last night.
I’m basically no further forward though and struggling to find others with similar experiences online.

It’s good you’ve been seen. I think we all know our bodies well. So if you’re still struggling then maybe try a&e. I have been scanned a few times there when I’ve had bowl issues. Let us know how you get on.
