"i got the copper iud october 22,2015. insertion went great didn&#039;t feel a thing. i did feel just a little cramping afterwards which lasted about and hour or so. and the next day i got my period and it was normal. a little heavy bleeding the first day or two and lasted 4 days the usual. so far so good and i don&#039;t plan on removing it out until the next 2-2.5 years when i&#039;m ready to have my 2nd baby. it&#039;s a great hormone free birth control."
