birth control
"I had Skyla inserted three days ago, and I made the terrible mistake of reading other women's horror stories of insertion!! I am 17 have not had any children. It was really not too bad. It felt like moderate to severe menstrual cramps, which continued from time of insertion (9:45am) to about 5:00pm, as well as very heavy bleeding. I had it inserted while on my period so that my cervical plug was open, I did not take the cervical opening medicine that some are given. I was very nervous after reading how painful it was for some women. I highly recommend not reading up so much on the experience. Yes it is uncomfortable and painful, but nothing unbearable. Good luck to anyone who gets Skyla in the future!"
