Just pulled out coil- can I use my mooncup though?

[JohnnyTwoHats]

Ha! The little fecker is out. Growing increasingly concerned about copper toxicity from my copper coil as I have been exhibiting all the symptoms. So, I just pulled it out absent-mindedly. Am menstruating at moment, can I still use my mooncup? or is it infection risk?

Who knows?

that's worse that the bum doctor!

LOL
Am sitting here staring at the evil little bastard.

Ummmm - are you supposed to pull them out yourself???

goodness. can you really just pull them out? how did you reach?

Youch! I bet that smarted didn't it?

< images of yoga postition and a face that looks like it's just sucked a lemon>

absent- mindidly?? O M G !!!

absent-mindedly*

? bum doctor?

There was a moment when I was in the midst of removing it, I felt a bit faint and wondered if I was going to have to go to A and E with no makeup on

Yes, it did hurt a little bit but wasn't that difficult. I made sure I could reach the phone, then got hold of the strings and pulled.

There was a phone up there too? With strings?

You absent mindedly pulled out your coil?

I'm sorry.. I really don't normally judge.. I really am the most mild mannered person ever.. but

freak! ewwwwwwww aghhhhhhhhh not a good look!!!

I have an image of you chatting on the phone and fumbling in you fanjo for some reason, then realising you'd absent mindedly pulled out your coil.

Well it was a bit absentminded and a bit on purpose.

I decided if it didn't come easily that i would stop. But it did!

no the phone was in case i went into cervical shock, then i could call ambulance

and your pleased with yourself too.. ack!

I'd have like to hear you explaining yourself to the paramedics. Maybe they could include such a story line in Casualty?

How do you know you haven't done terrible damage to your insides?? Is it really so easy that you just pull it??

BCNS- why am I a freak?

You try developing severe acne (I didn't even get acne as a teenager), recurrent thrush, depression and bleeding like a bastard (for want of a better term) for nearly two weeks out of every month. And the most incredible cramps.

Presumably if there was no pain, there was no damage. They can jsut fall out without you noticing aparantly.

Personally I would have asked my GP to remove it, but that's just me. Actually, because I'm a wimp it may just stay up there forever.

you pulled out your own coil... the GP will be open on Monday.. or last week.. but oh no.. DIY.

don't mind me

I thought I would tell the ambulance personnel that the mooncup must have dislodged it

I know there can be no terrible damage because all I did was pull gently and it came out. That's all they do when they do it at the doctors anyway.

BCNS - at our GP you have to wait for the coil clinic...but I think if I were JohnnyTwoHats and would have been demanding the GP take it out yesterday - before my absent minded fumble and yank.

Oh and hair loss as well.
