"my experience with birth control in general is crappy. with depo and nexplanon i bled everyday for six months each, among many other side effects! they ruined my sex drive (so has skyla). the iud is my last shot.

i continued to bleed daily with no cramps for the first few months. my period are becoming more normal, but i&#039;m experiencing much worse cramping than my periods before it! the pain has left me unable to work, and it comes and goes like contractions in childbirth do. i have to do breathing exercises to get through it because painkillers like ibuprofen do nothing!

the pain is like when i had it inserted. i was warned i may have &quot;slight&quot; cramping, when i had severe cramping for 17 straight hours! it only stopped when i went to sleep."
