A member asked:
I'm spotting & cramping as a result of having the mirena iud. i've been spotting and cramping for almost two weeks. any way to make this more bearable?

Spotting common: Spotting and cramping with the Mirena IUD and others is very very common. Almost the rule rather than exception. The surveys show that some women stop spotting & cramping in a month or so, some 2-4 months out. Others don't stop spotting until a year out. Cross your fingers. Only option is to have it removed if it becomes unbearable.
