"inserted dec 1 2015. insertion was extremely painful. my uterus contacted so much that i push out the iud during first insert. my doctor had to do it 2x. most people say you only experience a minor pinch. for me this was very untrue. this is the worst pain i have ever experienced. i bleed for about a month after insert. about month 2 is when things started to become more &quot;normal&quot;. i have experienced what i think are 2 cycles. i was formerly on the pill, had minor symptoms and only 3 days of bleeding. although i know my body is still adjusting, my periods are now about a week long! i also experience horrible cramping about 5 days before. the cramps are not long lasting rather very sharp and random. i have been having acne face/back. :/"
