If it’s not one thing…
it’s another. 
Monday I went to my GYN and all seemed well. I had stopped (or for the most part stopped) bleeding and the IUD looked to still be in place. She had no explanation for the PVCs, so she suggested stopping the herbs, in case they were the cause. She was amazed at the quantity of milk I’m already making and thinks it’s reasonable to assume I will be okay without the herbs. So far my PVCs seem to have slowed down (but get a bit worse in the evening) and my milk production has plateaued. It hasn’t gone up, but at least it hasn’t gone down either. Not sure if it is because I stopped the herbs or if it’s just a coincidence.
She wanted to have me come in for a sonogram to check the IUD placement and I set that up for Thursday. Yesterday. That’s when the bomb fell. The IUD had slipped out of position. My body is trying to expel it! 
So it needs to be removed. But she didn’t want to do that until she talked to the manufacturer to see if they would pay for a replacement. I found out this afternoon that they will, so I’ve been scheduled to get this one removed and the new one put in on Friday afternoon at 4:45. Please pray for me at that time. Because the first time was horrible, but at least I didn’t know what was to come. This time I do. And I’m afraid it may make it worse!
I really wish my body would just be semi-normal. What should have been an easy fix to the “don’t get pregnant” dilemma, has turned into a nightmare. 
(or at least a very bad dream) I’m always trying to find the lesson I’m supposed to learn or the purpose behind the events of my life. At the moment, I’m having a hard time finding one. I know it’s there… But it may take a bit to find it.

Oh Nicole, I am so sorry! I hope you make it ok! I have never had one but I am praying for you this weekend tonight and the rest of it because I am sure it will be rough! I wish you didn’t have to go through so much! I am thinking of you! Good luck!
