"i&#039;m 23, never had kids, and decided to choose skyla as my method of birth control after having issues keeping track of pills and not being consistent with the time of day i took them. the actual insertion itself was painful but it was over very quickly. i was given tramadol to take afterwards for a couple of days, but only needed it immediately afterwards, and went back to work the next day to a very physical job. after the first period post procedure my periods have significantly lightened, but other than that life&#039;s been the same, my boyfriend has never felt the iud, and overall i highly recommend skyla!!"
