birth control
"Like many others, I spent time reading A LOT of reviews because I was so scared of the pain during insertion. The actual insertion felt like a really quick, sharp jab (enough to make me say "ow" out loud but not unbearable.) It wasn't until right after insertion that I started having severe cramps. I had to lay there while she removed my Nexplanon (I was switching from Nexplanon to Skyla.) And afterwards, it took me awhile to even get up. The severe cramps lasted about an hour for me, and then were just mild for a few more hours. It's now been a few days and no cramps, no bleeding!! I truly believe it is worth it."
