"I had the IUD placed on August 27 so it's only been a few days . But it seems like it's been for ever . Ever since  they placed the IUD I've experienced really bad cramping . The cramping is so bad it feels like I am having contractions . I hope they go away maybe it's my body trying to get used to it who knows but if they cramping doesn't go away I am going to have it removed . The pain is too much and I don't think I can handle 10 yrs with this type of cramping . And after reading that so many people have gotten pregnant with it makes me think it's pointless to even suffer with the cramping ."
