birth control
"I got my Skyla inserted 6 weeks ago. The insertion was not very painful. I would rate it a 3 out of 10. It was uncomfortable and felt like a minor period cramp for a total of less than one minute. After it was inserted, I felt normal and was not dizzy or lightheaded. I had no cramps that day and only minor cramping and minor back pain for the first few weeks following insertion. I spotted for the first 4.5 weeks. My first period was longer than usual (7 days, is normally 4), but the bleeding was much lighter (no clots or excessively heavy bleeding). I did have more painful cramps at the beginning of my period, but nothing that was too unbearable. During sex, my husband is unable to feel the strings and I have forgotten it is even in!"
