birth control
"I just wanted to share my experience with the Skyla insertion. Whether or not this birth control method works i'd likse to know because I just got it a couple days ago. I'm 21. I was undecided between Mirena & Skyla. Mirena is for 5 years, Skyla is for 3. My Dr told me that since I haven't had kids I should go with Skyla. She said it was smaller(in size) than Mirena & would be less painful. I wasn't told to take any type of pain reliever before hand. I went in at 9 am, didn't eat breakfast. Dr said I would feel a little cramping, like my period cramps. Those cramps were worse. My blood pressure went down & what was supposed to be a 10 min insertion, was a 45 min stay. It was tough but I hope it was worth it. Take tylenol/motrin before hand & eat b-fast!"
