birth control
"I just got my Skyla today and so far so good. I'll admit, I totally spent the days before the appt reading all the negative reviews and psyching myself out. I talked to my doctor about the different IUD's and we decided the Skyla was most logical because I haven't been pregnant (good bc of the size of the IUD), I didn't want to completely stop my period, didn't want full hormones (just enough to hopefully help with my cramps), and obviously didn't want to get pregnant. I'm leaving for college in the fall so it was important to have some sort of Birth Control for a lot of reasons. I was worried about pain with insertion but it honestly was like a 4/10, just really uncomfortable. Whole appt took literally 10 mins. hoping for good results"
