"i had the iud placed on august 27 so it&#039;s only been a few days . but it seems like it&#039;s been for ever . ever since  they placed the iud i&#039;ve experienced really bad cramping . the cramping is so bad it feels like i am having contractions . i hope they go away maybe it&#039;s my body trying to get used to it who knows but if they cramping doesn&#039;t go away i am going to have it removed . the pain is too much and i don&#039;t think i can handle 10 yrs with this type of cramping . and after reading that so many people have gotten pregnant with it makes me think it&#039;s pointless to even suffer with the cramping ."
