Ladies, what has your experience with IUDs been?

I’m 23 and have never had children and do not intend to have them (medical issues). I had an IUD put in (Mirena) to replace my oral birth control in about mid March. Insertion was a bit painful but I got through it okay.

I’ve been having some transient uterine cramping quite a bit these days because I’m on my period but normally, I seem to have the very occasional cramp, at most once a day, and it lasts for 1–2 min. Nothing to take a pain reliever for.

I was just wondering if this is normal and if anyone else has experienced this. I’m going in for my check up soon but I wanted to ask.

Btw sex feels great (all positions) and I made the strings circle around my cervix so no issue there!
