Answer
Becky,

I assume you are talking about a mirena IUD? Yes, I would recommend that you have this removed. I don't believe that this method is healthy to a woman.

Insist that your doctor remove it if you have any problems. And if that doctor won't remove it, go to another. It is your right to have the kind of birth control that you want. I don't know if it will affect your fertility but I can do some research if you like.

Please email me at DWooley97@aol.com so we can talk more. Would love to hear from you.
Bye for now.
