"i had it inserted in early may. 5 weeks after giving birth to twins by c-section but dilated a full 10cm. insertion wasn&#039;t painful at all. bleeding heavily for a week after it being put in, after that i&#039;ve been spotting ever since. i have horrible cramps that feel like light labor pains. trying to give my body a chance to adjust to it &amp; also looking at other options in case it needs to be removed!"
