I had an IUD placed May 8th, but by the end of Nov. I was having really bad periods, to the point I bled for 6 weeks (either spotting to flooding). My GYN took out my IUD on Dec 1st, but did not check for any infection or anything. He just mentioned that I seemed to be very tender and put me the Nuvaring. Well that ran my BP to 190/110 so I went off that and went back with even more symptoms. My GYN basically brushed me off of all concerns I had, yet said that I was a bit more tender than before. Well the symptoms I was TRYING to tell him was the following: I stay tired ALL the time, my stomach looks swollen, I'm nauseous most of the time, I have to run to the BR all night & day, and my periods are still "not right". Not to mention I have a history of ovarian cysts. Should I be concerned about ovarian cancer if it does not run in my family?View Thread
