It does calm down eventually. However, you should expect longer and heavier periods for some time. It is a gradual decrease in severity, but in the beginning, I had cramps like crazy. If there are no contraindications, take some Advil - I find it extremely effective in battling cramps. I also bled a lot more - different blood color and amount, but also, lots of pre-and post-cycle "spotting" - quotes are because it was pretty heavy for spotting for some time.

This last time I had 5 days, minor cramps, and nothing else interesting to report. But of course... it's been 10 months since I got the IUD.
