birth control
"Skyla is my first type of birth control. I originally wanted paraguard because of the lack of hormones but decided on skyla for the fact that it might  make my periods lighter.

My insertion was super easy! It didn't really hurt at all, just very uncomfortable. Afterwards, I had some cramps, but nothing major, and I easily got rid of them with some rest and ibuprofen.

The first month I had almost constant brown discharge (old blood), then I had a very light 6 day period. My next two periods were also very light, and 5-6 days! I'm in my third month with skyla and have had some more bleeding than I had before, but I'm hoping I'll adjust fully to it soon!"
