IUD and Hashimotos- replace or remove after expired?
I got the Kyleena IUD 5,5 year ago. Now it's over due time for either replacemt or removal and I feel I'm about to choose between 2 bad options and would like to hear about other peoples experiences!
I got diagnosed 1,5 year after insertion and in only 1 year of those my thyorid went from healthy labs to TSH 96 (now it's normal but still symtomatic). I have no idea if there is any correlation, info on the internet says different things.
But if there is I'm afraid a replacent would mess with my thyroid (or continue messing) and I consider going completely free from hormonal birth control even though I have some positives with the IUD. I also heard removal can mess with it as well though, and over all make you feel worse for a while. So..
What's your experience with either removal or replacent? Positives and/or negatives
