A member asked:

I took plan b 6 days ago, still bloating and cramping. i also had the mirena (levonorgestrel) inserted 4 days ago. is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Plan B can cause bloating and cramping. Mirena (levonorgestrel) can also do the same. Please take some Ibuprofen, it should help. The bloating and cramping should subside in a few weeks.
