I spoke to my Dr about this. I am still nursing and have had severe cramping in the past so she said I needed to wait until my daughter was done nursing and my body got back to normal. She wanted to see if my periods would become heavy again (they're still very light) and if I got my cramps back again. Some of the drawbacks are that to begin with you can have some spotting between period and you can have some pretty severe cramps. There are two IUD's that you can get. One without hormones and another one that's impregnated with hormones to prevent the spotting and cramping.
Here's a good summary of what the Dr talked about with me. I'm still considering it but waiting to see how my body acts after everything returns to normal and my milk has dried up.
