Please do not get it removed. Ive had mine in for two months now and I couldn't be happier. The first week was absolute hell, the cramps were terrible and I couldn't stand up for long periods of time. But I stuck through it and had a follow-up to check placement. It was a little lower than it should have been, but my doctor adjusted it. Since Ive had some cramps but its all gotten much better. Just stick it out the first couple of weeks. Its worth it!
