birth control
"I had Skyla inserted a month ago for the sole purpose of having worry-free sex. My periods were easy to get through before the insertion with essentially no cramps, no mood swings, no bloating, light bleeding, etc. Basically every period-haver's dream.

The Skyla insertion was mostly just uncomfortable: 10 seconds of discomfort, a pinch, 5 more seconds of discomfort, then it was over. I was good to go no less than a minute after the procedure.

Since the procedure, though, I have had non-stop spotting of thick blood. The cramps have been beyond excruciating. I was bedridden for a day because of them. The pain is absolutely terrible to the point where I am considering getting the IUD taken out.

Just be wary of the side effects."
