birth control
"I had Skyla placed on January 29th, 2016. It is now February 9th, 2016. I have been on the pill since I was 15; I'm currently 24. I was sick of taking the pill and wanted to look into implants. I was considering Nexplanon (the one that goes in your arm) but decided to proceed with Skyla per my nurse's recommendation. It has been a little over a week since I've had it placed and I've compiled a list of pros and cons:
Pro- immediately and highly effective. Pro- no daily pill to take/monthly shots etc. Pro- Free (with my insurance).Con- EXTREMELY uncomfortable to have placed, but it only lasts for about a minute. Con- I spotted and cramped for the first day and a half (BUT) Pro- nothing since then. Con- I think it's causing me to break out."
