Levonorgestrel
birth control
"I have had Skyla for 4 months and I love it! I read all the reviews before and that was a mistake. Insertion did hurt-- there are 3 big "pinches" involved-- but it was over in 30 seconds with no complications. I had very painful cramps for about 12 hours after insertion and spotting for a week or so afterwards but only had to take ibuprofen a few times after that first day and cramps were totally gone after a week. My period came later than normal the 1st time after insertion & I was so scared it wasn't working! But it was fine and the doc said don't try checking the strings because most people can't find them as they curl up under the cervix. Periods are super light but a bit long. Haven't had to use a tampon in 3 months-just pantyliners!"
