"i am 28, no kids, never pregnant. i was on the pill up until last year when the docs discovered a blood clot in my lung after a surgery. after that was cleared up i was told i couldn&#039;t go back to pills. my only options were iud or condom with a douche. i chose iud with huge reservations because i didn&#039;t know about skyla yet and i heard horror stories about mirena. my ob/gyn did some research and found skyla for me.

the insertion was kind of painful. it was like a very strong period cramp for 10mins then a dull ache for a week afterwards. heating pad and ibuprofen! i had bad spotting/light period for the first 3-4mos but since then i have not had my period. i maybe get 1 little spot once a month. getting skyla was a great decision!"
