birth control
"I was SO anxious to get Skyla. I am 20 years old, 125lbs, and have never had children. However, the pain was nowhere as bad as I expected! It just felt like some deep cramping for a few minutes during the insertion. 

Some tips: my doctor prescribed Misoprotosol to take the night before, to soften my cervix. I was also given a prescription for Lorazepam, a type of sedative or pain relief to take 30 minutes before. I also took 800mg of ibuprofen. It might have been overkill, but it all helped a lot!

Surprisingly, it's been a week and I haven't had ANY cramping or spotting since! I think I might be the exception, but so far it's been painless and I'm very happy with my choice. A little pain is worth it for 3 years of convenient birth control!"
