birth control
"I've been on Skyla for over a year. I thought it was super painful to have the procedure done & I had bad cramps & spotting/light periods on and off for about 3 mo. The cramps were so painful I was often doubled over and felt like the wind was knocked out of me. After that 3 month period I was getting my period consistently in the sense that I was just consistently bleeding. I've also felt a sense of anxiety I didn't have prior to Skyla. I stopped getting my period about ~7 months after being on the Skyla, but recently I've started getting the bad cramps again. So, I went to my DR & basically, my body goes through the motions of having a period without bleeding. It's painful, but I am not pregnant."
