Birth Control
"Hi! I had my Skyla inserted at 11am this morning. I&#039;ve been on birth control pills since I was 18 (I&#039;m now 31) with a history of ovarian cysts (when I was 17) and periods that were super heavy and lasted 7-10 days (prior to taking any pill). My last pill, Natazia, caused a pedunculated fibroid to grow to 12cm (larger than a grapefruit) and 7 smaller ones. I had an abdominal myomectomy on 7/21/15 and Skyla was the best option for continued birth control since estrogen caused my fibroids.
The insertion was not pleasant. It hurt, maybe a 7 out of 10 and is absolutely like a cramp.
Spotting all day long and popping Advil for cramps! Hoping tomorrow the cramping is over and I can feel normal! Fingers crossed as this IUD is my only option!"
