birth control
"All bodies are different! I had Skyla inserted last month on the 18th and its been about three weeks with it in. The insertion was definitely painful but nothing that can't be handled in the 5-10 minutes the procedure takes. I had read a lot of scare stories previous to going. I unfortunately had mine inserted a week before my period. The cervix softens during your period which is the recommended time to have it done. I spotted with little to no cramping for the first 2- 3 days and got my period a couple days later as well. I had some pretty severe cramps on and off the first day or so into my period. It almost feels as though your body is trying to contract it out. My period lasted a little longer but has stopped with no spotting at all."
