please dont let me scare you. I'm sure there are a lot of people who actually love it, as long as i dont gain weight or get acne i think the pain will be worth it in the end, no worries about getting prego or taking pills for 5 years I will be the first to admit when it comes to pain I am a wimp maybe just talk to you dr about it and she can give you better advice...

If you are having pains like that call your OB. The doctor may have inserted it wrong, and could need to be removed! Call them ASAP!!!!!!


As far as mine go... I love my IUD. It has been such a huge relief for me. No shots, no pills, no patch. Awesome! But I was also told that there would be no weight gain. Maybe that is my problem? lol

I have an IUD also but its the paragard. I went with that one because I just did not want anything with hormones. I LOVE mine. when he inserted it, it was a little uncomfortable but def not painful. my first cycle was a bit different but everything has went back to normal. I seriously forget that its there. I really do think this the best choice I made. Its effective for 10 years so far its been 3 yrs and its working great *knocks on wood*

It wont just fall out LOL they say that the women who have not had kids do have a chance of it expelling thats why they usually require you have atleast one child before. You also have to check it monthly at home.

I have one. I am embarrassed to say that I don't know the name brand. I have had it for 5 years and have to go next month for removal and to get another one (thus think it may be the one you refer to). When I had it put it - it was agony. I wasn't told how much it would hurt and cause cramping. After the 1st day; however, no pain or problems. Since the time I had it put it, I have not had a period, ever! My Dr. told me that happens with some women but couldn't say if it would affect me that way. Well, let me tell you - it's been great. Just think of all the money I save every month not having to pay for feminine products! It has been a worry-free experience and I am very satisfied with the outcome. So good luck to you, but I agree if you are still hurting badly on day 2 I think you should call your Dr.!

Thanks. I did think it was strange that there are now commercials about it all the time when I've had it for 5 years. Anyway, I will verify the brand next month when I get it switched out.

I've got one and have had it now for almost 4 years. I did have some cramping the first day I got it put in but nothing terrible. I also do not have periods, that's my favorite part! I love it!

thanks guys, if i dont feel better 2morrow i will call her. i went to work right after i had it inserted yesterday, that was a nightmare but i was able to do it. I think its just b/c i have not had a baby in 10 years and i was only 15 then so my body is acting as if i never had a child, I heard if you have never had one the pain/cramping is more severe. I hope my period goes away altogether that would be fantastic
