thank you so much for this post. ive had the iud implant for almost 7 mos now, and have been blaming my poor boyfriend for being dirty.... ive considered taking it out, but has be the only thing that was worked... so i thought. the smell has become imbarrassing & thanks to all your posts im making an appt tomorrow. i saved up for a year to this procedure done. i think the iud is a great method.. but its not for everyone!
