Birth Control
"I got the Skyla almost 2 years ago. So far, everything has gone great with the IUD. I get my period maybe every 3-4 months (light spotting for about 2 days tops). I do get cramps every month for about one entire day. It&#039;s not anything crazy or out of the ordinary (beats having periods and having kids!) I definitely recommend it. The insertion process was a bit painful and I had cramps for about 3 hours, but with some ibuprofen and a heating pad, it can sure be tolerable. I used to be on the pill and shot for a while but both of those made me really depressed and I gained a ton of weight. Which is why I switched to the IUD. Skyla releases a smaller dose of hormones so that really helps to &quot;feel normal&quot;. good luck ladies!"
