"i&#039;ve had this iud in for about two weeks now. the insertion process was pretty uncomfortable, but there were only about 3 big cramps that just felt like bad period cramps. the entire process took about 5 minutes and i was able to get up and drive myself home immediately after. i took 3 ibuprofen prior to coming in and that helped keep the cramps at bay for a while, but you will experience cramps for the first couple of days. they just feel like period cramps, no worse. the only negative thing i&#039;ve noticed so far is an increase in acne where my skin was pretty clear beforehand especially around my chin and i&#039;ve also been getting headaches every day since i&#039;ve had the iud inserted. will update in 2 more weeks."
