Am I just a wimp...

...or is this not normal? I had my Mirena put in about 3 weeks ago. Most of the time, I'm fine - but sometimes I get these awful cramps (they remind me of contractions). I never really got cramps with my period before, so I'm not used to these. And they HURT. Like, I want to roll on the floor. Is this normal, or should I call my doc? And if it's normal - when will they go away??

Re: Am I just a wimp...

  • I would call the doctor and just ask.  I had the same thing for months after I got mine, but I ignored it figuring I was being a wimp.  Finally couldn't take it anymore after a year of that, and went back in.  Turns out they had punctured my uterus...so it doesn't hurt to at least ask if they want to see you.

  • I'm on my 2nd Mirena and have never had anything like that.   I would call your doc if you haven't already.   

    I have always had to go back in 4-6w later to get placement checked, so perhaps they could check yours early to make sure it's okay.

  • I get cramps normally that bring me to my knees.  But I didn't have anything related to my iUD other than a dull ache.  Wanting to roll on the floor seems extreme.

    I'd request an US to make sure it's not perfed or out of place. 

  • I don't have Mirena (and haven't had it), but I would definitely call your doctor over this.  It sounds like it could be something serious.
