"ok i&#039;ve had my iud in for about 3-4 weeks now. i got it in off my period, with no misprostal and no cervical block. it was brutal but i survived. didn&#039;t cramp afterwards, didn&#039;t spot afterwards, totally normal. i was thinking maybe (for once in my life) that i got lucky and wasn&#039;t going to have a traumatic experience.

wrong! i&#039;m on my first period since getting it, have been bleeding heavily for over a week now and my period cramps are heinous. like it feels like insertion pains all over again. i&#039;m starting to worry it has expelled itself or latched onto something its not supposed to be latched onto. i&#039;ve been on the couch sobbing from the cramps all day."
