Hey guys,

So to all you out there who have the copper Paraguard IUD, or anyone who has others and have similar experiences, please help me out. So I got my IUD about two weeks ago and the insertion was fine. They had to use tentacular clamps on me, which sucked, but when it was over it was over. I had mild cramp-like symptoms all day but they were gone soon. Everything went normally.

But now, two weeks later, I'm having really bad cramp-like symptoms periodically throughout the day without warning. Even before I had an IUD, my period cramps were no where near this bad.

Not a lot of weird discharge or anything else.

I just wanted to ask you guys and see if this is normal or if I should get in contact with my doctor. I'm in college so I would only be able to call her, and I was going to do that anyway.

Thank you!
