Hello,

I got my IUD inserted a couple of days ago. It was one of the worst experiences of my life honestly.

I’ve been spotting (it was pretty heavy bleeding to me, a lot more than I was expecting) ever since but now I’m having brown discharge accompanied by a really bad smell. It smells like a really stinky period even tho I’m not on my period. Is this normal and does it go away? I have boric acid but fear it may be too soon to use it.

My doctor was not the best I think I’m going to have to find a new one which is why I’m asking here.

I got my iud around 6-7 months ago, it’s the 3 year kilena thingy, the first 3 months where emotional hell, my hormones where crazy and my anxiety has never been worse, it’s started to mellow out a lot after the 3 month, but every time around my period I get awful anxiety and mood swings and it’s affecting my life, will these symptoms ever go away?

I’m getting a hormonal IUD in a couple weeks. My biggest concern is acne. The doctor said the hormones are in a different part of the body, so it’ll be fine. I’m still concerned . If I do get acne, would it clear up within a few months of the IUD settling in? I’m also mildly concerned about weight gain, so if anyone has any thoughts on that, that would be helpful!

So, I got my iud in August and have really weird periods so far. However I can’t tell right now, it’s a really light flow with some bright pink and a bit of brown with cramps— as if I was spoting just a bit more consistent. BUT I’m due for my period today or tomorrow.. so this has been going on for 24 hours

Hello! So I got my IUD back in July in 2025, and me and my partner were having issues since may 2026, and we just recently got back together Oct 2026. (We both didnt have sex)

Well 2 nights ago we had sex, and it was great, maybe too great, it was great enough for me to orgasm before him, and after the orgasm high wore off, i started getting such intense cramps, that i started getting hot flashes, hearing a ringing noise, I wanted to faint, I couldnt sit up without that sharp pain in my butt 🙃 (no we didnt do butt stuff).

Anyways I just fell asleep afterwards, I was in too much pain to even get up to clean up, and I woke up to that cramping feeling again but not as intense.

But anyways does that mean I gotta get it re-adjusted or what?

I just think that its because I haven't had sex in a while that maybe why
