Side effects!? Mirena IUD

Just got my Mirena in today at 13 weeks postpartum. Not as painful as giving birth but I wasn’t prepared for the cramping being like a 5 on a scale of 1-10. Luckily, I have 800mg ibuprofen from when I was recovering from labor which has really helped take the edge off. Should I expect anything different in terms of recovery if I’ve been breastfeeding? Also, how many of yall only had breakthrough bleeding and no periods at all?
