Ok, more IUD questions

Alright, I've had my iud for a week now and I'm still cramping up off and on. Also, I sometimes get a sort of cold burning (I'm not real sure how to describe it) sensation in a v-shape in the lowest part of my abdomen. I checked my strings and they seem to be in place still, so I guess I'm wondering if this is just a normal part of my body adjusting to the iud or if I should go see my doctor and make sure everything is ok. Please let me know if any of you have experienced something like this so I can figure out if this is normal. Thanks!

Hey,

I've got and IUD too and, while I can relate on the on and off cramping up to even TWO weeks after insertion, I can't say I know what you mean about the cold burning sensation you've got. A really good rule of thumb is that if you're ever in doubt and you think maybe something just isn't right, don't heasitate to call your doctor. You're always better safe than sorry!

Good Luck!

the cramping will come and go for a few months....mine did...ibuprofen will take care of them...as far as the other question goes,I can't recall feeling anything similar to that....if it keeps it up,you could always check with your dr....good luck...

Thanks for the replies. I'll probably give my doctor a call the beginning of this week and see what she has to say.
