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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/still-having-pain-from-iud-insertion-one-week-later#post-1109832 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 10:15:41 +0000 boots 1109832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was really uncomfortable with my Paragard for what seemed like forever. Aching, stabby pains, and I could feel it all the time. I don't quite remember when it stopped, but after having it for 4 months now I forget it's there :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/still-having-pain-from-iud-insertion-one-week-later#post-1109795 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 10:08:54 +0000 LovelyPlum 1109795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@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 :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/still-having-pain-from-iud-insertion-one-week-later#post-1106969 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 08:47:28 +0000 tlcbaby 1106969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you all! Quick update - I called my midwife and they told me that if you have a tilted uterus (not sure if I do or not) that you can sometimes feel it for a longer time before your body gets accustomed to it. They told me what I was feeling was definitely within the range of normal, but to let them know if it doesn't continue to improve.</p> <p>I have to go back in a month so they can check it anyway so I will just keep an eye on things in the meantime. I appreciate your responses, I definitely feel better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/still-having-pain-from-iud-insertion-one-week-later#post-1106897 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 08:05:40 +0000 lilyofthewest 1106897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a Mirena, and I haven't had a baby.</p> <p>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. </p> <p>It did gradually go away and I was happy enough with my IUD to get a second one when my first expired. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/still-having-pain-from-iud-insertion-one-week-later#post-1106880 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 07:58:05 +0000 Revel 1106880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sorry you're in pain! I had my Paragard put in about 5 weeks ago and I think I stopped cramping by about a week or less. I didn't really have pain but I think there was some discomfort. It was all low level stuff for me. </p> <p>At my appointment, my MW did say that she had one inserted herself a few months earlier and she was very uncomfortable for a while - like I want to say 6 weeks or more - and she said that is within the range of normal for IUD side effects. She has not been pregnant. ETA: She kept the IUD and is now really happy with it.</p> <p>I would call and see what they say for sure. For me I wouldn't be too concerned given it hasn't yet been a week, but I always like to keep my docs in the loop.</p> <p>I hope you get it sorted out. So far I'm very happy with mine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/still-having-pain-from-iud-insertion-one-week-later#post-1106838 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 07:19:13 +0000 tlcbaby 1106838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: Yeah I went back and read her thread! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/still-having-pain-from-iud-insertion-one-week-later#post-1106837 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 07:18:38 +0000 tlcbaby 1106837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: Thanks. my old midwife suggested against it too so I rated until after I had a baby to get one. I am going to be so upset if it still won't work for me-I don't want to go back on hormonal birth control. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/still-having-pain-from-iud-insertion-one-week-later#post-1106836 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 07:18:25 +0000 Smurfette 1106836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/still-having-pain-from-iud-insertion-one-week-later#post-1106829 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 07:14:48 +0000 LovelyPlum 1106829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Based on the drama that @Beebug experienced this summer with her IUD, I would call!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/still-having-pain-from-iud-insertion-one-week-later#post-1106823 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 07:07:36 +0000 Happygal 1106823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@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.</p> <p>Hope the pain gets better for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/still-having-pain-from-iud-insertion-one-week-later#post-1106807 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 06:36:07 +0000 tlcbaby 1106807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had the ParaGard inserted last Wednesday. All day Wednesday and Thursday I had intense cramping and also sharp pains that I can feel when I strain at all or move certain ways (walking, jumping). The feelings are less intense, but I can still feel it almost constantly. As I sit here right now I can feel a dull pain inside - like I am just always aware of it. I haven't had any bleeding since the first day, though.</p> <p>I am sure I know the answer to this question is to call my midwife and have them look at it, but I wanted to know if anyone else experienced something similar and what the outcome was? </p>
