birth control
"I have had Skyla for a month now. Personal experience is that I have random period-like cramps that only last a few minutes or so and occasional spotting but nothing too serious. Period has always been regular like clockwork. I got Skyla inserted while menstruating. Next period came right on time and my normal 4 days but was so light I didn't even have to wear a tampon, just a thin pantyliner. Had some pretty ridiculous mood swings for the first week or two while adjusting to the hormones but it seems to have leveled out now. Recently, dry skin on my face and my boobs are fuller and ache sometimes because of it I guess. Sex drive through the roof. Hope this helps balance out the horror story reviews! Minor side effects but worth it overall."
