birth control
"I got this IUD on June 23 this year so I’ve had it for about 5 months. Insertion was very easy, however, about an hour or so after insertion I had cramps similar to labor pains than period cramps. They came and went for 5 days or so. Advil helped a lot to relieve them. I still occasionally had intense cramps for the first couple of months especially during my period. I also spotted for about 2 1/2 months. All of the negative symptoms resolved by the 3 month mark. Everyone is different but, give it some time to settle in and don’t fear the insertion so much especially if you’ve had a child, it’s a price of cake. If you haven’t had a child it might be a little uncomfortable as the doctor has to use a clamp to open the cervix a bit."
