re:my pussy smells like teeth.
Re my posting earlier this week- I'm sure you're all dying to know what it was?
)btw thanks so much for all your replies- I couldn;t get access till today, so i missed them, but there were some great points!)

For thos eof you that didn;t read it, I was concerned because i had noticed that my insides had for the last couple of days begun to smell lik ethe smels when you get when you go to the dentist, or floss after a break..! Y'all came up with some great theories(blood, latex,bacteria) but it didn;t go away.

Anyway, I finally got to the gu clinic yesterday-

What we found out, after a great deal of prodding and speculum twiddling was that a fragment of tampon(from THREE weeks ago- grim!), had got caught in my coil strings, and had therefore got stuck up there.

this was super dangerous for two reasons- One that i could have actually pulled out my coil when i took the tampon out (eek!) and two, the bacterial build up was similar to what you get with toxic shock syndrome.

This mainly happened because my coil strings hadn;t been cut short enough, and eventually they had to cut the whole lot out. which was terrifying.
(scissors?! up THERE?)

ironically, i had been aware that the strings were probably too long, as had my boyfriend, who hadn;t said anything. the other thing is that i find my cervix swell and gets closer to the front of my vagina when I'm on.

What I;m trying to say here is- if you thing your strings might be too long, GET THEM CUT.
Belive me, you don;t want to do what i had to yesterday..:)

or wear a mooncup.
which i should have done anyway, but was too lazy.

just a little cautionary tale there.

have agreat weekend all!

yours, no longer smelling like teeth,
poiloikoi x

Wait, what is a coil? ha, I'm confused. You get them cut? Explain, please. I'm very curious.

Someone else in the IUD_Divas community described something similar happening to them recently, too. Weird. They didn't describe it as smelling like teeth- just "foul." Though I think hers had been there longer. Glad you got it fixed quickly.

So when you say "they cut the whole lot out", you mean they cut the strings up so they no longer hang beyond your cervix? I guess I should be glad my strings are short... so much I usually can't feel them.

yeek!

I'm still deciding if I want to go for an IUD. I use a cup already, but I've heard horror stories about the cup pulling the entire coil out!
