birth control
"I got Skyla inserted April 10th, just after my period ended. My period before BC lasted around 6-8 days with pretty heavy bleeding and clots. I had pretty bad cramps, bloating and PMS during the first couple days, and then it would taper off and I'd feel 100% normal. Skyla: Insertion sucked. Point blank: it depends on your pain tolerance. I have a moderate-low pain tolerance to internal pain (external pain however, I have a high threshold.) Overall, I don't have bad mood swings, cramps are better, my period now is lighter but longer (11 days on first one, 9 days currently) and I have no spotting between periods even at only 2 months in. It's effective. I really enjoy it! my body adjusted quickly!"
