birth control
"I had my Skyla insertion 3 days ago. I have never had any children & no pregnancies. I decided to look at a safer method & I was looking for another route with a more guaranteed pregnancy protection. I was super nervous & I had no idea what kind of pain to expect other than "severe menstrual cramp" feeling described. The insertion itself was quite painful but I didn't take any meds prior to my appointment so I highly recommend that. Severe cramping occurred for 36-48 hours after insertion. I am now 48-72 hours in & am experiencing no cramps & no bleeding. I will continue my pills for 4 weeks until my follow up appointment. Even though insertion was miserable, it lasts 10 seconds. Highly recommend this method!"
