Got my first IUD today

Kat

After months of thinking about and then not being able to get an appointment until a month out, I was finally able to schedule an earlier appointment when I checked on a whim last week. So today I got the IUD inserted. I went with the liletta because I have really heavy periods and I want them to stop. I knew it was gonna hurt and I was gonna have some cramping, but OMG it was so intense. I was screaming from the pain of getting it inserted. I got all hot and lightheaded, I almost passed out and threw up. I had to sit in the recovery room of the planned parenthood location for half an hour after. I bled a lot when I got it inserted. I'm still cramping and bleeding but I'm feeling way better now. Anything else I should expect?
