welcome to health care magic
since yo have had painful periods from the begning and there is no improvement even after you had a baby the cause needs to be investigated. in my opinion you could be having a condition called endometriosis. to know if you have that or not you should under go a laparoscopy, this wil tell if you have any evidence of endometriosis. depending on the severity of the same ,if present, you can undergo treatment. an iucd will not help if you have an endometiotic cyst in your ovary. this can be treated laparoscopically by cyctectomy , however this can be decided at the time of laparoscopy only.
