birth control
"I had Skyla put in about a year ago.  The insertion was pretty awful because there were complications so it took longer than anticipated.  That was not because of the Skyla but because of my doc (which she was really great about the whole process).  I include that because I haven't had any children and have a pretty high tolerance for pain, so I want anyone reading this to expect some discomfort.  Since having it my cramps have been terrible and seem to only disappear for about a week and a half or so each month.  I also still have spotting.  My periods in general are lighter but they last for 5 or 6 days now it seems.  I've also had a significant increase in hormonal breakouts, which I definitely believe to be due to the BC."
