Hello,

A woman can expect cramping and mild lower abdominal pain and irregular bleeding up to 2-3 months after an IUD placement. In most women these symptoms don't last more than a few days or weeks. If you are not feeling better in 2-3 months follow up with your ob/gyn.

Best regards,

Dr. Downing
