"i had the copper iud inserted 3 weeks ago. right after they inserted it, i was in awful pain. i was bleeding and had discomfort for 7 days after insertion. the bleeding stopped for 5 days and then i started bleeding again for 7 days, only this time it was heavier and more painful. today i had to go to the er because the pain was unbearable and had it removed. my cramps felt more like contractions. my body definitely did not like it"
