Steph, after I got mine, it was like that for the first couple of months. Is your OB doing the 6 week check soon? Are you having one?
I'm very sorry if she tipped off anyone about your cunningly concealed herd of cows.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Because books.
But didn't the initial cramping subside, Tep? I'm not sure why it would come back out of nowhere, related to the IUD.
I have to say, if your lower abdomen is tender and sore, you should call your OB/GYN.
ETA: I only ever get a couple of strong cramps before onset, strong enough to make me double over (briefly). If these went on for a while, and aren't usual for you, you should call. And I still think the tenderness is troubling.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Tep, that sounds like severe cramps to me. I think you should call your doctor just to be on the safe side.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Steph, after I got mine, it was like that for the first couple of months.
Did you have abdominal tenderness/soreness? Or, um, painful sex and/or non-menstrual bleeding during/after sex? (Yeah, I wussed out and whitefonted.)
Is your OB doing the 6 week check soon? Are you having one?
She didn't tell me to schedule one, but I think I might need one.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Tep, I don't think I've ever had periods as painful as this sounds. So I'm going with 'severe' and 'yes, call the Ob/Gyn'.
And then she cried.
I probably shouldn't be laughing.
I really did. I was so happy for Alias!Xander!Guy, and for Actual!Xander, when I saw they had an exciting new show of their very own.
And then she told me that the Network killed it. And I cried.

Steph, the painful sex part, yes. Took a bit for that to go away. I think it's the cervix that causes the pain being forced open and all. The spotting after, I don't remember.
Def call and make an appointment.

brillig
When pain makes you yelp outloud, and you don't do that normally, then yep, that's severe.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I think Lee reclaimed it.
DID NOT.
And you can't prove otherwise.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Tep, fourthing everyone on the doc. Sorry, sweetie.
K, it's fine, I wasn't hurt, I'm just... well... I guess my emotional cues are way the fuck out of whack right now? Yes, that's accurate. So I'm never quite sure where I am. Anyhoo.

What is even happening?
Teppy, to the doctor with you please.
