Birth Control
"I got the Skyla put in about 3 weeks ago and so far so good. I was SO anxious about having it inserted but it truly was a breeze (I also had taken .5 mg Xanax, which I highly recommend prior to IUD insertion, it helps a lot). The process from the moment the speculum went in to when it came out took about 2 minutes and I was done. I mostly experienced discomfort from pressure more than from pain; nothing like I had imagined it feeling. I had cramps the day of and then only have had 3/4 days of cramping episodes since then. As far as bleeding goes I had very light spotting for the first 2 weeks and then my period started and I&#039;ve been on my period for 10 days now. Also I&#039;ve had random crying episodes that may or may not be IUD related."
