"i got the skyla iud since i&#039;m a diabetic every other birth control were raising my sugars. i had tried the implant several years ago and i had month long cycles i got it removed after a year and a half. i started taking the pill my sugars went through the roof. so we said we&#039;d try an iud and it&#039;s definitely going very well, so far! when i got it placed, i was given 3 advils prior, than they also numbed my cervix and i just felt a slight sting from the needle, but i didn&#039;t feel anything afterwards. but once i got home i was told i&#039;d cramp i did, and i also bled. it&#039;s been 6 months, now, the first 5 were pretty heavy but not a lot of cramps. this last month i had slight bleeding i didn&#039;t need anything because it was only when i would wipe."
