birth control
"I am 28, no kids, never pregnant. I was on the pill up until last year when the docs discovered a blood clot in my lung after a surgery. After that was cleared up I was told I couldn't go back to pills. My only options were IUD or condom with a douche. I chose IUD with huge reservations because I didn't know about Skyla yet and I heard horror stories about Mirena. My OB/GYN did some research and found Skyla for me.

The insertion was KIND OF painful. It was like a very strong period cramp for 10mins then a dull ache for a week afterwards. Heating pad and ibuprofen! I had bad spotting/light period for the first 3-4mos but since then I have not had my period. I MAYBE get 1 little spot once a month. Getting Skyla was a great decision!"
