A member asked:
Had the copper t inserted 2 days ago. was an incredibly painful procedure&cramps are less painful today. i am still bleeding/spotting. is this normal?

More or less: The insertion procedure and initial response is the known downside to IUD's in general. The cramping and minor bleeding settle down after a day or so & then you can usually forget the issue for a few years (the upside) . If the pain or bleeding persists for more than a few days report it to the doc.
