Birth Control
"Skyla is my first type of birth control. I originally wanted paraguard because of the lack of hormones but decided on skyla for the fact that it might  make my periods lighter.

My insertion was super easy! It didn&#039;t really hurt at all, just very uncomfortable. Afterwards, I had some cramps, but nothing major, and I easily got rid of them with some rest and ibuprofen.

The first month I had almost constant brown discharge (old blood), then I had a very light 6 day period. My next two periods were also very light, and 5-6 days! I&#039;m in my third month with skyla and have had some more bleeding than I had before, but I&#039;m hoping I&#039;ll adjust fully to it soon!"
