It is true that IUDs can cause cramping. The copper IUDs are usually the worst offenders, and the Mirena IUD is less likely to do so. During the first year with the IUD, you are likely to develop some cramping while you are still having periods. This may occur during the time when you are supposed to have a period even if you are no longer bleeding.
