birth control
"I had Skyla inserted 4 months ago. I took two ibuprofen prior to the procedure. The procedure itself only took about 15 minutes. I felt a sharp pain as the IUD was inserted and experienced cramps throughout the day. The next the day, they were gone. I did have some sharp cramps sporadically throughout the first two weeks I had the IUD, but they subsided. Since then, I've had no other real side effects, aside from lighter periods and I've noticed my hair seems to shed more than it used to. Overall, I'm very happy with the IUD so far."
