Periods, cramps, and the IUD. OH MY!

Janeen

Hi all, I just got Skyla about a month and a half ago. This is my second period with Skyla. The first one wasnt great but not terrible. Mostly back cramps and a few front ones (which I never had as an early teen or when I was on birth control). The 2 weeks after my period I felt amazing, chipper, energy, no pain. But holy shit the last 2 weeks I've had random horrible bursts of cramping. I just started spotting today (about on time) and I had a pain today that felt like the pain I felt when I got the IUD put in. It felt like a contraction and shocked me so much I actually gasped out loud.

It slowly and dully went away and never came back but at what point do I call it quits and get it removed? I know it takes about 3 months for my body to get adjusted but is this normal?

I checked my string and it's still there. A little higher, but still there.
