Birth Control
"I had Skyla inserted 4 months ago. I took two ibuprofen prior to the procedure. The procedure itself only took about 15 minutes. I felt a sharp pain as the IUD was inserted and experienced cramps throughout the day. The next the day, they were gone. I did have some sharp cramps sporadically throughout the first two weeks I had the IUD, but they subsided. Since then, I&#039;ve had no other real side effects, aside from lighter periods and I&#039;ve noticed my hair seems to shed more than it used to. Overall, I&#039;m very happy with the IUD so far."
