I had Mirena. Yes, I had more cramping while I had the IUD. I also had a hard time sleeping on my side and sleeping period. I had more headaches and felt more uncomfortable. You are also at risk for blood clots and my family has a history of blood clots. I should never have been given the IUD. If it doesn't get better, I would have it taken out. I only had it in for a few months and then it was taken out.
