IUD users - how much cramping...
| Sun, 09-05-2004 - 3:20pm |
...after insertion did you experience? I am planning on getting the Mirena inserted in the next couple of weeks (I have to wait until my next period - apparently it's easier to ut in at that time). I am expecting some cramping during the insertion, but wondered how you all felt immediately after and the following day or two. My midwife says Motrin for the first 48 hours for pain should take care of any cramping. Just wondered what other's experiences were like.
TIA for your input!

Good Luck!

Just take your motrin before you go in and that will help out with any possible cramping or pain that you might have.
ENJOY your IUD!
btw, if anyone has any alternative methods of birth control to suggest- i don't trust barrier methods and i can't use hormonal ones so i am feeling like i am running out of options. i was thinking of combining 2 methods that, by themselves, may not be that effective. ie: withdrawal + spermicides...but this doesn't really feel like the best option either. any creative ideas?
