I am experiencing sharp shooting pains down through my vagina. It started earlier today but becoming more frequent and painful. I have an IUD that should have come out years ago- I am 51 years old-but am concerned because I also had unprotected sex a week ago with someone I do not know well. My email is YYYY@YYYY I have no insurance or money.
