Skyla
birth control
"I have had the Skyla IUD for 5 months. I have never given birth. I am really bad at remembering to take the pill and my husband and I are even worse with condoms. Do not drive yourself to get this IUD implanted unless you know how your body will react - I almost got in a car accident because I was doubled over in pain behind the wheel. Long story short, I bled for 4 straight months (very light, more like bloody discharge than actual period) and the cramping has been intermittent, but incapacitating (drop to the floor) when it hits. My advice: carry around Midol and a heating pad for the first few months because you don't know when it's going to strike. It's too much for me so I'm going to have it removed after my anniversary in a few months"
