Hi, I had my IUD put in in Dec (so 6months ago) and I am regretting it even now. I have had nothing but problems. Heavy cramping (so bad that osme days all I can manage is to lay on the couch watching my kids play and that's AFTER taking nurofen plus) and my uterus is tender. The cramping happens off and on so I have no way of predicting when it will happen and after a few days of cramping I will spot. (Last month my period finally reduced from mid range bleeding for two weeks to spotting for a few days.) it's been about 2wks since that "Period" and I have been cramping heavily for 4 days and started spotting last night. The left side of my uterus is tender and I am worried that I may have an ectopic or my uterus simply doens't like the IUD in there. I had problems with Depo (When I was 20) and had heavy bleeding at irregular times too.....bled non stop for 3 months and found out near the end of that bleeding that I had fallen pg whilest on it, but miscarried and missed it due to bleeding non stop. Strange. It also took 6 months after the 3 months ran it's course for me to get AF back so we can't use that either and I have fallen pg on pill too so that is out also. and I am sensitive to Condoms too so... Mirena was what I thought my last option untill we are ready for number 3. I have an appt on friday to get it all checked and probably removed as I can't handle the cramping, the moods and the constant tiredness. I'm not saying IUD's are bad, just that they don't agree with some people and I just happen to be one of those people who have constant problems with it...
