A member asked:
Intense pain during iud insertion. is this normal? ultrasound placement confirmed. cramping today.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, cramping OK: An IUD is a "foreign body" inside the uterus that the uterus attempts to expel when newly placed, thus the cramping. Over time the cramping should stop but make sure you check your IUD vaginal string to be certain that it remains in place.
