Levonorgestrel
birth control
"Before skyla I'd been on the depo shot for 9 months. I'd had bouts with weight gain (20 lbs!) & depression while on it, so I decided to switch to skyla. Had it inserted 11/20. Took a vicodin before the procedure (didn't seem to help much). The procedure itself was fairly uncomfortable and painful. It wasn't debilitating pain for me - just uncomfortable with two sharp cramps (maybe a 8/10 on the pain scale, but they only lasted 30 seconds or less combined). I got it inserted at 4pm and was having 7/10 cramps the rest of the night, took some tylenol PM and slept like a baby. Woke up the next morning without any pain at all! Been having 3/10 cramps last few days, but that's it. Hardly any spotting."
