Horrible IUD cramps!

jade

I got my copper IUD 3 weeks ago and today I started my period. My cramps are horrendous and I can't even get up for more than a few minutes because the pain is so excruciating. My day off is coming to an end and I still have so many things I need to do! Please help. I've already taken 800 mg of ibuprofen and I just took a bath but it's still so bad once I get up! I'm laying in bed with a heating pad right now
