"i&#039;ve had skyla since november 2014 and it was one of the best decisions i have ever made! i used to have painful, heavy periods, but now i spot for about 5 days each month, and only feel mild cramping on the first day (no medication necessary!) i don&#039;t even require tampons, anymore; pantiliners are more than enough!

the insertion was painful, but bearable. i took 2 advil 2 hours before my appointment (i highly recommend this!) my boyfriend drove me home afterwards, even though i could have driven. i babysat that night, continued taking advil every 6 hours (even if i wasn&#039;t in pain) for the next three days, and only experienced occasional cramping during the next 3 months. love skyla, i can&#039;t imagine ever going back to the pill!"
