"had my sonogram check up today at 2.5 weeks post insertion. the iud was exactly where it should be. i told my doctor i had experienced some pretty intense pain/cramping on my right side near what i assumed was my ovary. he told me that was the implant &quot;getting in place&quot; and was pretty normal. i&#039;ve never had painful periods so my experience for what is normal is fairly limited. and although the pain was at times intense &amp; nauseating it was very quick. the cystic acne i reported on day 3 (see earlier review) has subsided and was explained as androgens flooding my system. spotting is minimal and some bloody discharge when i urinate. no pain during sex or high intensity workouts. so far thee discomfort was worth it. :)"
