@TLCBaby: I have not experienced this, but I will pass on the discussion I had with my midwife about getting one. She said since I haven't had a baby yet and I was a smaller person to begin with, she thought it would be uncomfortable for me. She said she removes many of the IUDs she ends up putting in.

Hope the pain gets better for you!

Ditto what @LovelyPlum: said. I have Mirena and didn't have cramping but I did have nausea like a week later for a couple days.

I have a Mirena, and I haven't had a baby.

When I got my first one placed I had really nasty cramps off and on for about a week. Then I had another 3 or 4 weeks of just a persistent feeling of pressure/something being in there. I continued having the sensation of awareness that something was there whenever I had a really full bladder for most of the first year I had it. Unrelated ultrasound about a year into having it showed the Mirena in the right place.

It did gradually go away and I was happy enough with my IUD to get a second one when my first expired.

@tlcbaby: good update! And I'm glad that they're going to check it in a few weeks. Want to make sure that little bugger is where it should be

I was uncomfortable for a few weeks this time. The last one I got, years ago and before children, was intensely painful for a few days but then totally fine, no pain at all. So I guess it varies from person to person and even from insertion to insertion. But yes if you're worried at all, call! Can't hurt.

@Beebug: lol, I figured you would see this eventually, but I didn't want this post to turn into your original post where only one person responded, so there ya go
