Skyla
"I've had the Skyla for six months now. I didn't find the insertion to be that bad- there was definitely pain but it's so brief it's manageable. I was given a prescription for misoprostol to take the night before and I had it inserted during my period. I had cramps and bleeding for several hours after and then it was fine. For the first couple of months I don't really remember how my periods were, but starting in July I started getting them about every two weeks, with bad cramping the first couple of days and they're pretty heavy. They tend to last 6 or 7 days. At my six week checkup they did an ultrasound to make sure it was placed right and saw that I had developed a cyst, but my doctor wasn't worried about it. I also gained weight."
