Hi!
If you were my patient, the first thing we would try is to relieve the cramping with some medications such as Ibuprofen or Aleve. If those medications helped, then there would be no need to remove the IUD. I am going to guess that you have a Mirena IUD in place, and if so, the discharge is normal and not worriesome. It is also normal to have minimal or no bleeding/period. If you otherwise like the IUD, it might be possible to continue to use it for several more years.
Good luck!

Dr Brown, thanks so much after I posted this question I remembered my doctor prescribed Naproxen for me sadly I was out :-( but i found some Motrin ibuprofen in my first aid kit I took 4 (800mg total) and haven't had any pain since!! Thanks for the med advice you're really awesome for doing this
If the cramps are bad and cannot be tolerated, then you must discuss it with your doctor. Slight cramping is normal after putting an IUD.
