birth control
"I've had Skyla for a month now. Insertion was painful. I've never been pregnant and was not on my period when I had it placed. I took 800mg of ibuprofen 1 hr. before my appt. Cramping was HORRIBLE for the first 2 days, I thought I'd made the wrong choice. I lived on the couch with a heating pad. I bled for a week straight after placement. However, a week later and no more cramps or bleeding. Went for my follow up and I did have a yeast infection, Dr said that can happen because when they prep you during placement it can kill the good bacteria as well as the bad. She gave me meds for it and all is well. Despite the negatives, I am happy with my choice. I don't even know it's there anymore and haven't had issues since week one."
