Hi mamas! I got my first iud (paragard) inserted yesterday and it was horrible! Labor pains is all I can think of to compare it to! Anyhow I have been cramping pretty bad since and today I jus feel sore down there. Is this normal?

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

I didnt know what 2 expect. The nurse said I was tightly closed and she had 2 dialate me alot which is why I was so sore. The actual insertion didnt hurt but the stretching and pulling did. If it is still sore 2morrow ill go back. The cramping has eased up.

Hope you went to the doctor. I have had 2 friends get this in the last few months. One felt like you and turned out she was allergic to it. The other says she just does not like it at all and it to take it out today. Please let your doctor know.

I've only had mirena and it never hurt. Not sure if paraguard is different.

I never had one (can't get one due to a tilted uterus), but my cousin did and she said she had it a year and the cramps really never went away. She had intense cramping at first and then mild twinges the whole time she had it. She also had non-stop spotting the whole time too. Her doctor said to give it a year and if all that doesn't go away, they would take it out and try something else. It never did go away, so she had it taken out.

I didn't really hurt after they put it in. I was a little sore but not bad. If it keeps hurting I would go back to your doctor.
