"so i had the iud for about a month and a week and so far my experience has been horrible. the cramps have woken me up out my sleep numerous times, cramping after intercourse, heavy bleeding, period lasting 2 or more weeks. i just don&#039;t recommend this to anybody. i take 2 or 3 pills a day at one time because 1 pill isn&#039;t enough for the amount of pain i&#039;m going through. i haven&#039;t had it that long but maybe it&#039;ll get better after that."
