Birth Control
"I got Skyla 2 years ago (around $2000 total for 3 years) , and want to get another one the next summer (3 years limit). The insertion of course is never fun, no surgery of any form will be - but I was well enough to enjoy movies that night with friends. My periods have gotten lighter and it&#039;s effective in preventing pregnancy. The only grief I have received from the little IUD was monthly cramps that I associate with &#039;my body trying to get rid of it&#039; and sometimes it&#039;s so painful I have to curl on the floor, stay still, and sometimes whimper and cry. However, I&#039;m a big girl and it&#039;s perhaps twice as painful as my normal menstrual cramping and I&#039;d rather have that once a month than a child I&#039;m not ready for."
