birth control
"I tried pill after pill for 6 years, hated them all, whether it was bad skin or mood swings. Decided that I wanted to go as hormone free as possible. As a 21 year old, my doctor said that Skyla tended to have the best reviews from women my age. After reading all of the reviews I was spooked, so I took a pain killer before. The doctor did not give me anything for anxiety or the pain. I ended up passing out twice during the insertion and the next two days afterwards were antagonizing cramps. Thankful I had my boyfriend to take care of me. The rest of the first week was occasional sharp cramping. 6 weeks in, couldn't be happier! Appetite is smaller, skin is clearer, zero mood swings, high sex drive, normal periods. Well worth the initial pain."
