Many of you have asked me for an update on my IUD situation.
We have been working with the organization that is responsible for the insertion, trying to get them to take responsibility and pay for the removal (being that it will cost upwards of $10,000). So far they have denied responsibility and sent us on a wild goose chase with doctor after doctor and insurance authorizations, etc. It has been 4 months since it was discovered to be MIA in the attempted removal and we have yet to get it out.
I had been experiencing pain, especially while working out, so I dropped my workout and upped my prayers.
Today is an important day for us because I have two important doctors appointments. One, the doctor will try to remove it using a device and ultrasound and try to pull it back through if there is any left poking into my uterus. The
other appointment is a meeting with a different doctor at a clinic that claims they may be able to file some claim that if accepted, will pay for the laproscopic surgery.
So PLEASE, if you are reading this, we would love if you would stop and say a quick prayer for us that a miracle will happen today. This all began by the way, with a nagging voice in my head telling me to get it removed. I ignored it over and over because I had just had the IUD put in 6 months before and it was EXPENSIVE and is meant to be a long term (5-years) birth control. I kept having the feeling though and I thought it meant we were supposed to have more kids sooner than expected. Thus the internal fight. No more kids for this mommy for awhile. I am not a supermom and moms of three Pre-K kids must have superpowers in my eyes. BUT I couldn't ignore it anymore so I went in to have it removed. The nurses were actually mad at me and scolding me for getting it removed so soon and all I could tell them was that I felt God was telling me to take it out. Well what do you know, they felt a little sheepish I'm sure when they couldn't find it.
Anyways, I know the Lord spoke to me and I am so glad I finally listened because who knows how long it would've been poking around my insides before I found out. Likely I would have got pregnant and that would have been a bigger problem.
There you go. There's the gist of my story now. I will keep you posted with any news for those who care!
