IUD and cramping (Mirena)

Sable

Is it normal to experience cramping during the initial months post insertion? I got mine 2/28 and it’s been nonstop bleeding/ brown discharge and on and off cramping.

Yes. The insert the doctor gives you says up to 6 months of cramping and spotting is normal

I had 2 weeks of bad cramps. Then another week where it was like every other day. It's normal and different for everyone.

I had terrible cramping and bled for a few weeks after insertion. then it started again and i bled for over a month straight. it’s perfectly normal. i talked to multiple doctors and they all told me not to worry. after the first 3 months it should get better.

Yes cramping is super normal! I got mine in December of last year and cramped for almost everyday for a month. Once I got my "period" (or the week when I would usually get my period) the cramping stopped. The spotting has been off and on but definitely lightened up
