Thread: painful legs with IUD...???

I had my IUD placed yesterday. after the initial obvious pain it was ok. it took me three hours to be able to stand up without passing out but my body finally accepted the thing and i felt fine. minimum cramping, minimum bleeding.

this morning iv woken up, felt fine. apart from i haveachey legs. like right at the top where my legs join my body either side - aches like . i was scared to go to the loo....but did - cant stop nature lol. but this achey leg thing is making me wonder whats going on?! is this common. does it stop? does it mean something slipped/moved/perforated?

sorry if this question has been asked but im very new and the search bar doesnt work for me!

Hello,

I got an IUD to days ago and have had a dull ache in my lower back ever since (or top of awful awful cramps for the four hours immediately afterward). My legs have felt a bit achey every once and a while too - I have to keep moving around and switching up my sitting/laying position to stay comfortable. I think it's from the IUD - like my body adjusting, but I may also have the flu so I can't say for sure.

Hope you feel better soon!
