"i&#039;m 19, no kids and never pregnant. i went in and talked to my ob about a new birth control, because i get so busy i forget to take the pill, but also because my period is extremely heavy. my ob inserted skyla the 23rd of april, the pain was bad. i took a 800mg pain pill, but it still hurt. it hurt after, but i took a hot bath to help my body relax, which helped the cramps. i started bleeding the thursday after i got it inserted and i&#039;m going on seven weeks of it. i just had a check up, so she could look at the strings and she said that i have 3-6 months of possible bleeding. i do have to say though, that this bleeding is heavy, but no where near as hard as i was before. so i guess that&#039;s good. hoping the bleeding stops soon."
