"i&#039;m 20 with no kids. my gyno suggested the skyla because i&#039;ve been on birth control for 7 years and she though we should switch it up. on 10/11, i got the iud placed, i thought the insertion would be a walk in the park but it was close to the worst pain i&#039;ve felt and i have 13 tattoos lol ! it was period cramps times 10. i still feel a lot of pain even just sitting certain ways and i&#039;ve bled everyday since i&#039;ve gotten it placed. i&#039;m hoping by my ultrasound on dec. 16th that i&#039;ll feel better because if not, i want this out of me and that scares me even more because i&#039;m afraid of the pain from getting it removed. it&#039;s cool not having to take a pill every night &amp; i&#039;m not worried about effectiveness bc it&#039;s more effective than birth control"
