birth control
"I had Skyla placed about 4 months ago. I have had a child naturally before, so that may have come into play for my placement. I came into the doctor's office while on my period, and the experience was uneventful. One uncomfortable pinch that lasted less than a second, and I was done. It probably helped that I was joking with the assistant the whole time, vs focusing on any pain. I didn't take any advil or anything, and after my appointment I went and got tattooed for 3 hours.  I have experienced longer spotting at the ends of my periods (usually a 4 day period, followed by a week or so of spotting). It's annoying, but I have zero other side effects, so I like it. Hubby can occasionally feel it, but overall we like it."
