"i have had the iud for 3 years total. at first i had cramping and bleeding for the first two months, which i read is normal. but lately i have had other issues with the iud. i have had severe cramping, bloating, mood swings, little or no sex drive and frequent milky white discharge throughout the day. i am thinking about getting it removed very soon because the cramping has gone on for 2 weeks straight, it feels as if someone is stabbing me in the lower abdomen. i am scared about getting it removed because i have never had a child but my doctor told me it was fine to have implanted."
