birth control
"I had Skyla inserted 2 weeks ago. I had been on the pill on/off for 16 years and hated it. It was making me nauseous, depressed, and anxious. My gyno recommended the IUD. I've had no kids and have a small cervix.
As everyone has mentioned, insertion is painful but short. I took 2 aspirin and a relaxant beforehand and it still really hurt. Probably the worst part of recovery for me is that I've been spotting & on/off cramping for 2 weeks now. However, I haven't spotted in 2 days so I'm hoping thats the end of it. Besides that, I am very happy with it -- I don't feel any changes in mood, appetite (if anything, appetite is less), sex drive & NO NAUSEA! I would say give yourself 4-5 days to heal (I didn't and regret it)."
