Brief Answer:
These are normal after IUD insertion.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The mild intermittent cramping and an increase in vaginal discharge may be normal findings after an insertion of IUD. Since the discharge is clear there is no need to worry. The discharge may increase due to the effect on your normal hormones. You may need a treatment in case there is any foul smell or itching associated with the discharge.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
