Hey have a question for all of you with an IUD. My gf is on it and she is having midcycle bleeding and some cramping and it was just put in ohh about a week and a half ago. It's the mirena on. She had cramps for 3 days and then went away and now they are back with some spotting just wanna know if this is normal and if it's anything to worry about at all?

Hey, it's nice to see some males on the board every now and then...

I've got a copper IUD so I know what she's going through! Yes, they say that any cramping and spotting that early on after the insertion is very normal. She's got to give it a few *months* for her body to really take to having the IUD in there. Just remember that if you're ever really in doubt, calling your dr or a nurse never hurts if it gives you piece of mind.

Good luck!

Sounds somewhat normal although if she's worried she should talk to her dr....In the beginning once an IUD is put in it can make your cycles irregular and the cramping will come and go for a while-at least it did in my case...The first 3 months I had it my periods came every 2 weeks instead of only once a month....hope she's feeling better soon.....
