"after a few years of the pill, i was fed up with the side effects and having to remember it daily and i am so glad that i decided on skyla. the insertion was very uncomfortable for me, but i think it had something to do with the fact that i was incredibly nervous and my cramps that come along with my period had never been very bad, so i didn&#039;t know what to expect. i was in about 6/10 pain for a few hours after because i took ibuprofen as my dr recommended, but tylenol is usually what works for me so after i took some the pain decreased significantly. i was able to go to work afterwards and now my periods are lighter and much shorter than before. i would recommend an iud to anyone looking for a long-lasting bc method."
