Skyla
birth control
"I had horrible experiences with birth control pills - I could not handle the hormones in any of them I tried.  I got Skyla after my first child was born.  The insertion hurt pretty badly and I was cramping and bleeding for about a month afterwards.  After that month though I stopped getting my period completely, I can handle the hormone levels in it and really the only negative is that I've had some very dull, light abdominal pain that comes and goes randomly, which is tolerable in comparison to having a regular period and to what other birth control did to me."
