Hi all I had my IUD put in on 01/18/2012 and sens then I have had menstrual cramps that seem to come & go or just stay thy r not that bad most of the time sept after sex or my monthly cycle.
I at first thought it may be because of having sex.
My husband is a big man and I don't know.I'd get cramps I think about 4 or so minutes after sex so I don't know if it's that or maybe it's my monthly cycle.
I've had my menstrual cycle on the 02/01/2012 I think because I was not spotting anymore and started to bleed and the cramps got worse to like I was on my cycle but that stopped on the 02/08/2012.
But when I really think about it I have had light cramping ever sens the IUD
was put in don't really feel like I need to take pain meds when the cramping is
light which dues seem to be most of the time blah sorry.
I'm just not sure if I should be having cramps all the time light or not is this normal for the first month and how long is the spotting supposed to last?
I hope someone can answer my question I know it seems like I'm rambling sorry I just really need answers from someone that has had there's in for longer than a month help!

Hi angeleyes,
It may be the mirena that is causing you to have the cramps,some forms of birth control can do that,,I was on the depo provera shot every 12weeks and i had cramps like you are describing,i suffer from endometriosis also,but the depo shot did'nt help me and i have heard of cases where people that are on the mirena suffer the same side effects.
Maybe you should consider some other form of birth control,then again maybe i'm way out in my answer to you,but I understand how frustrating the cramps and pains can be so just wanted to give my piece to you til someone else may have better advice to give you.
Hope this helps
Best of luck to you whatever you decide!!
Take care
