I got an IUD for birth control & was stunned by what happened next

WITH so many forms of birth control available, it’s possible that the first one you try will not be compatible with your body. Each option has its risks, but one woman never thought her body would react the way it did when she used an IUD. An IUD, or intrauterine device, is a small T-shaped […]

WITH so many forms of birth control available, it’s possible that the first one you try will not be compatible with your body.

Each option has its risks, but one woman never thought her body would react the way it did when she used an IUD.

An IUD, or intrauterine device, is a small T-shaped device that is inserted into the uterus

According to Planned Parenthood, depending on the type of IUD (hormonal or copper), it can be effective for five to seven years.

It is 99 percent effective in preventing pregnancy.

But Adrianna Marlee’s IUD experience was short and not so sweet.

Adrianna posted a TikTok video recalling the months she had an IUD.

After getting the insertion, she stopped getting her period.

It’s normal to experience irregular bleeding or no period at all right after you get an IUD, according to Healthline.

However, Adrianna explains in the video that after a while of not getting her period, it came back.

Then, she says, she missed a period.

Adrianna tried to locate the strings attached to the IUD in her body but couldn’t find them.

After this, she called her doctor to get everything checked out.

To be sure she wasn’t pregnant, Adrianna decided to take a pregnancy test.

The results were positive.

When Adrianna received the positive result, she immediately called her doctor and went in the next day.

She says the doctor used an ultrasound to check for the IUD.

But the IUD couldn’t be located.

Instead, the doctor found a baby’s heartbeat.

Her video was met with tons of comments, including questions from people wondering where the IUD went.

Adrianna’s body had expelled the IUD, which in turn caused her to get pregnant.
