birth control
"I got Jaydess (Canadian Skyla, same thing) In June 2015. I switched from the pill because I was having a hard time remembering to take it.
The procedure itself was pretty painful, but the two waves of cramping only lasted about a minute in total, and my doctor had me cough during the insertion. Had some pretty bad cramping for the rest of the night (more than my usual period cramps) and used a heat pack and some extra strength ibuprofen for a couple days. Moderate spotting/bleeding for about 2-3 weeks after but then it stopped. At first I had some slight pain during sex but it's totally fine now.
6 months in, I get a period approx. every 6 weeks that lasts around 3 days. Totally worth it to not have to remember a pill every day!"
