birth control
"I had Skyla put in about 2 weeks ago so this is more about the insertion as my body's still adjusting. I did the ultimate "do not do" and read all the online experiences and horrific outcomes the night before my appointment. I was so anxious I almost cancelled as I'm not good with pain. I took 500mg ibuprofen an hour before and ate breakfast as instructed. My doctor didn't use numbing cream or anything. Having the Skyla put in was no walk in the park, its way less painful than kidney stones and gallbladder attacks I've had. Do recommend taking the day off work since the cramping, while not unbearable, was pretty intense. Spotted for 2-3 days after and am just now stopping random cramps. So far I'm extremely happy with it"
