"i&#039;m on my second iud. had the first one removed after 4 years and another put in. the first one didn&#039;t hurt at all when they placed it but the second one i had pretty bad cramping for about a half hour. i&#039;ve not had any problems! i bled for a couple of months with the first one and have only had random spotting since (maybe every three months). i would highly recommend!"
