birth control
"Info: I'm 18 years old, about 130 lbs. I got the Skyla inserted 4 months ago. The insertion was painful but not for long. It was two stabbing pains and then nothing.  I experienced some cramping which was very bad around my first period. I also lightly spotted for 3 months straight.  If you are considering it, let me tell you: INVEST IN A MENSTRUAL CUP. I spotted for months and I don't know how I would have done it if I couldn't leave the menstrual cup in. It's been 4 months and the spotting has stopped. I also lost the strings and had to get an ultrasound to find them but it is still in the proper place. All things considered, I'm happy with it. The inconvenience I experienced is outweighed by how long it'll last and how easy it'll be."
