i'm getting mine next week and just wanted to see how bad your cramping was since i have heard horror stories about it! also - did you have a lot of bleeding?

lastly - are you glad you got it?! thanks ladies - hope you all are well!

I got mine 2 weeks ago and the cramps werent too bad. Not worse than my regular period cramps. The bleeding is still going though and is like a light day period.

I also had an IUD between Grey and Winnie and loved it!

This is my 3rd (before pg and between) and I love it! The cramping wasn't bad and only lasted a day. I bled (light) for a few days, stopped for a few weeks and then bled again. Haven't had a period or any bleeding since.

LOVE mine! Slight cramping and bleeding like Kelly posted. I actually now haven't had a period in over 6 months! I was actually looking at having the essure procedure done (no more kiddies for us), but decided to just keep my mirena since the effectiveness is the same and I get the benefit of no period.

The first time was 8 years postpartum and I had cramping for a few weeks...bad ones that would stop me in my tracks. This time I was just under 5 weeks postpartum and had NO issues. No cramping, no bleeding. Even held Q during insertion (which my doc wasn't a fan of)

I'm in the minority here but I would never get it done again. When it was put in it hurt so badly. I then had awful, painful cramping (more like contractions) for 3 days afterward. They were painful enough for me to stop what I was doing and breathe through them.

I went to have it removed about a month ago only to find out it had perforated my uterus (probably when it was inserted, hence the horrible pain) and I just had surgery on Monday under general anesthesia to remove it. Recovery has been slow and painful from surgery with the worst part being I can't hold my little guy for at least a week.

I also think I'm in the minority. The insertion wasn't bad, but the cramping and bleeding never stopped. After almost 6 straight months of non-stop cramping/bleeding, I had it removed. I would never get it again, but I think that my experience is not the norm at all.
