birth control
"So many of these reviews scared me immensely and caused a lot of anxiety leading up to my Skyla appointment. Take them with a grain of salt. This process was nothing like I expected, it was barely more than a PAP. I am 22 and was on the pill since 16. I'm fairly petite (5'3) and very active and athletic. My doctor prescribed me Valium and told me to take one pill along with four ibuprofen one hour before my appointment. Once I arrived he took me right in and the whole thing was done in literally one minute. I didn't even know he had finished the whole process - I felt pressure and discomfort, but NOTHING like the horror stories I had read. I had some mild cramps for about 5-6 hours after, and then totally normal like nothing happened."
