Hi. I got the merina IUD inserted yesterday. The procedure wasn't as bad as I feared it would be. I'm bleeding a little, feel tired and weak. I have slight nausea, breast tenderness and cramps. The cervical area around the site of insertion aches a bit. They told me not to put anything in the vagina for a week. Does this all sound normal. Also, the string is so far back I can hardly find it, I assume they wanted it to be unobtrusive.

Yes a week sounds normal--my doctor told me 3 days, and I've heard a week a lot. But, you shouldn't be feeling for strings yet until that week is over...you can get an infection or disturb things and make cramps worse. Just a thought.
The stings are far back, and will depend on the time of the month. (cervix position)
Hope everything goes well for you! I got a Paragard in August and things have been good so far.

P.S. Really small price to pay, I think I'll be very happy.
Hi Amie,
