birth control
"I was on the pill for 10 years before deciding on Skyla. I'd say the process itself only took about 10 to 15 minutes. It was a little bit uncomfortable, and there was a pretty intense pinching sensation towards the end, but overall, I didn't find the insertion to be that painful. I did feel a little bit lightheaded afterwards, though. I had some cramping that day, but felt fine the next day. There was some minor cramping over the course of the week, but that has since subsided. I got the device inserted on the first day of my period, and bled for about 8 days afterwards. I did not have any spotting over the next month. My period arrived 4.5 weeks later, and lasted about 7 days. The only negative effect I've been experiencing are headaches."
