birth control
"I had previously been on birth control for two years. The last year on the pill they changed it to continuous use due to intense cramping/bleeding I experienced. I had been thrilled at the concept of having no periods, until I started heavily spotting. For a majority of 9 months I had one colossal period and my OBGYN finally suggested to try an IUD(skyla to be exact). I am 20 years old and have never been pregnant. I had the iud placed March 10th 2015 and I have to admit the insertation was painful despite the ibuprofin I had taken, but also very quickly done. The pain has definitely seemed worth it, my cramps are now virtually gone and my "periods" are now constant and are VERY light spotting. Not to add, my PMS from bc is gone too!"
