"hi all, i had kyleena inserted at the end of march 2017, about a week before my period was due. the process was not that painful, but definitely uncomfortable. i took the day off of work, before a weekend, so i would have a few days to recover. i had some bad cramps following the insertion for a few days and some light spotting. about two weeks later i was having terrible cramps and my period started. the main problem is, it hasn&#039;t stopped since. i have been bleeding for about 5 weeks, with intermittent uncomfortable cramps. i also have noticed changes in my digestive patterns, including increase b.m. frequency and urgency. i have a follow up with my doctor tomorrow. i will at least give it three months."
