Expect to have period-like cramps for the first few days after your doctor inserts the IUD. Mild cramping is normal. If the pain becomes intense, call your doctor.
What are the symptoms of a moved IUD?
Signs and symptoms of a displaced IUD
- not being able to feel the IUD strings with your fingers.
- feeling the plastic of the IUD.
- your partner being able to feel your IUD during sex.
- bleeding in between periods.
- heavy vaginal bleeding.
- cramping, beyond what you normally have during your period.
How do you know if your IUD hurts?
If you have sex and your partner feels the hard, plastic part, it may have moved. You feel pain. If the pain is extreme, gets worse, or doesn't go away 3-6 months after you get the IUD, it may be out of place. If you have this kind of pain and NSAIDs like ibuprofen or naproxen don't help, call your doctor.
