Birth Control
"So, I took the pill for a year before considering getting an IUD. I asked my gynaecologist about my options for an IUD and he recommended Skyla since I have never given birth. It was free with my insurance. If you don&#039;t have health insurance, I&#039;m sure Planned Parenthood would be able to give you answers. The actual procedure wasn&#039;t painful for me. My doctor injected lidocaine into me cervix (which, surprisingly wasn&#039;t painful). He inserted the IUD, cut the string and was done. There was some pressure when he accidentally tapped the top of my uterus, but otherwise I was fine. Afterward is when it became painful (cramps), but I would just recommend taking Advil. I was able to go to school and work afterwards. I love it so far!"
