"i got my kyleena iud placed 3 weeks ago. the insertion process was fairly painful, a few large cramps that lasted a few minutes and lots of pressure. i experienced minimal spotting and cramping for the next few days and basically just wore a heating pack all weekend. i had a small scare last week when they couldn&#039;t find my strings but it turned out to be tucked in my cervix and the iud is still in place. in the last few days i&#039;ve had some mild cramping but it may be because my period is coming up. overall i think the kyleena is very worth it if you can get through the first few months of mild discomfort. i&#039;d like to preface that the discomfort doesn&#039;t bother me much because i have many stomach issues already and am used to terrible periods."
