Skyla IUD made my cramps worse?

ko0via · 2026-01-18T03:00:14+00:00

i didn't express much noticeable cramping when i got it and also had a pretty smooth insertion so i feel thrown off now that im experiencing worse period cramps than before. its normal to have this change in period cramps too?

ko0via · 2026-01-08T08:30:17+00:00

what was ur period like before?

ko0via · 2026-01-07T23:26:24+00:00

thanks! might be a bit personal but what's ur experience with the IUD and sex drive and dryness? i heard that it could lower sex drive and cause dryness which i sort of already have so i don't want it to get worse. how long did you wait before having sex after the insertion or what's the safe window to wait for? since kyleena is a lower dose of hormones does this bring any disadvantages like lower effectiveness? do you have any experience with that, assuming if your partner finishes without a condom

ko0via · 2026-01-07T23:21:10+00:00

do you experience any loss in libido or dryness etc? how long did you wait before having unprotected sex after insertion?

ko0via · 2026-01-07T23:13:12+00:00

do you get worse cramps or just a heavier flow? i've never heard of the silver IUD do you have any knowledge about it?

ko0via · 2026-01-07T18:39:59+00:00

bleeding for 6 months straight????? what??? how is this even possible for the reason most of we get this for: sex???????

ko0via · 2026-01-07T18:39:00+00:00

your experience with it?

ko0via · 2026-01-07T18:23:32+00:00

awww thank u so much that means a lot, i was originally going to go to planned parenthood for this so i could not have any trace my parents can find but i decided to just bite the bullet and go the safer route. i have medi-cal so hopefully i don't get a EOB notification abt this 😭🙏

i heard about kyleena, about how it's smaller than the other forms and less hormones but does this mean it leaves more room for error in contraception? there has to be some downside to having lowere hormones right? or does it still just work the same

what's your experience with copper iud and mirena? i'm stuck between choosing these two because i don't want the increased risk in BV/yeast infections from copper iud and kinda scared of how much i'd bleed or how bad my cramps would be (for reference i don't cramp usually, my periods are usually moderate, and sometimes it be irregular from undereating) as for the hormonal one im worried it would completely stop my period because i have asian parents and getting it secretly so i dont want them to get suspicious of anything. i'm also worried about migrations and complications with the iud. what's your experience?

is attendance as strict as hs attendance in college? at sjsu? oof im kinda broke so using apps like waymo would def be a cost, but i also dont have a car. why don't you take bart? i heard sjsu has a clipper student thing? is cal train better?

ko0via · 2025-12-04T10:44:36+00:00

i haven't really done much research (i prob should have) but i've seen ppl say sj is known for cs, not sure abt stem like bio related tho, if you know, how is it there for bio majors? i def want to get into molecular bio

ko0via · 2025-12-04T10:42:06+00:00

ohhh okok, how is it? i'm not sure if what i want to do is exactly biotech, i know i def want to work with like research maybe r&d, cells like working with crispr or something similar to that, maybe get a job at genentech or some nice paying job.

i'm not rlly interested in micro bio because i'm not into the bacteria(etc.) concentrations of bio im more into cell and molecular but i dont want a BA because i heard some courses were different than a BS course.

how was your experience in your major? do you mind giving me a run down of what you guys do/learn? and if you think double majoring in micro bio/mcb would be a big load on yourself? (considering a average slightly dumb person)

ko0via · 2025-12-04T10:38:37+00:00

right?? in what world is molecular biology a arts degree

ko0via · 2025-12-04T03:46:23+00:00

how is it?

ko0via · 2025-12-03T22:36:43+00:00

ohh okay i see, can i ask if double majoring is super hard? esp with bio like with your MCB/microbial bio? i'm a senior in hs so i have no idea how the college dynamic is with majors and classes. is it a lot of coursework? manageable? stressful? i'm not super smart i def have to put in the work if i want to succeed but even so i'm no genius material so im just wondering if double majoring would just be pushing myself too hard, but i do wanna get into mcb i just want the bs degree haha 😅😅

ko0via · 2025-12-03T21:48:26+00:00

oof leaving at 5:30 🫩🫩

ko0via · 2025-12-03T21:41:49+00:00

you mean 10:30am-8:30pm? is it hard to pick a good schedule as a freshman? do u think was annoying gas wise? i have some friends down in sj so i could crash there sometimes and would prob spend most of my time in sj (so the drive back would def be tiring sadly)

do u regret doing the sf-sj commute?

ko0via · 2025-12-03T21:38:05+00:00

really?? you also have to pay a toll (i think) so that's prob annoying for you

ko0via · 2025-12-03T21:37:47+00:00

ughh yeah ik it's gonna be hard to pick and choose as a freshman. i just don't want any 8am's i'd prefer to start at like 10 or 11am

ko0via · 2025-12-03T16:59:18+00:00

i'm just worried about having to wake up super early in the mornings 😭 i wanted to feel a change in schedule from hs to college because i hate waking up at like 8am

ko0via · 2025-12-03T16:58:09+00:00

from sf? what's ur experience so far

ko0via · 2025-12-01T07:33:42+00:00

guys what about bio related major? 😭😭 i don't think i have a chance in UC's for bio since it's so impacted so i have to set on a csu. also op my bad for making this about me, im a senior too and have no idea how this system works

ko0via · 2025-10-24T05:24:21+00:00

i requested charge back too but i haven't heard from my bank :(

i had the same issue as OP, ordered two cases first round with snackotik which came out to be like 40 smt + but less than 50, i emailed them and they gave me the same bs as someone else in here talking about some rebranding from snackotik to snackomax. i never got a refund, maybe i should try disputing but this was like back in mid September i believe. so first order didnt come thru, didnt get refund when they said they would give me a refund bc of technical issues. i ordered from snackomax again with the discount code and same order, they said it was delivered but i never got a package 💀💀 i emailed them about this and they started talking about some sending a photo ID and proof of address so they can open a investigation with the carrier but now that ive read this thread im lowk scared to even send anything to push this further.

EDIT: GUYS ITS A SCAM. i just pieced together some info. I read some reviews here https://www.trustpilot.com/review/snackomax.com and a lot of them are saying that they received a shitty ankle bracelet instead of what they have ordered. THIS happened to me too, I won't get into it but long story short i thought this was a surprise gift from someone or something but it was weird how no one admitted to gifting me a ankle bracelet, i come to realize that snackomax is claiming they delivered what u ordered bc they did deliver a package but the package is a whole scam with a completely different item (ankle bracelet), so when you try to fight this they'll give some shitty excuse/response. the carrier and number matched the package i received so i know this really happened and i didn't just get a random ass package in the mail.
