One would think that these things would be something to talk about with your Dr BEFORE you have the IUD inserted, but anyway...

I have an IUD and my personal experience was that I experienced no spotting, but I was in some pain during and after the insertion. I had mild cramping for 1-2 days after insertion, but it was easily controlled with some ibuprofen. My sister just had one inserted and she spotted and cramped for a full week after insertion. What I'm saying is that your experience will vary from everyone else's. I've heard that its "normal" to experience pain (cramping) for up to 10 days after your insertion. Dont be afraid to call or go see your Dr.

My IUD was inserted during my period, I had bad cramping for the rest of the day, and mild cramping for another day. Ibuprofen really did the job. I also had cramping at the start of my next period. Now things are getting back to normal (3 cycles).

Good Luck!

If you're hurting that badly I would go back to the dr....Have you tried taking ibuprofen? I've had my IUD 1yr now...Had some irregular periods during the first few months but they got shorter and ligher each month after it.Now I basicly spot for a period.Hope you get to feeling better.I had mild cramping after having it put in....
