Switching From Depo To Skyla Iud Before Surgery Help!



Recommended Posts

I have been on depo for 5 years and I don't have my period. I haven't for 3/4 years. I have been cramping on a pain lvl 7 and bleeding non stop for the past few days so I think its time to change. I've never done a IUD and I hear skyla is fairly new. I want skyla cause it's more for young women who haven't had kids. I can't find many reviews on it and was wonder if anyone here is on it. I'd also like to know your experience the first few months of any IUD a s a swell .

I have an IUD , first few days may be cramping light spotting nothing too major .. After about 2 weeks you forget you even have it !! I love it because you don't have to worry about it at all ..

I have the paraguard copper IUD. It was uncomfortable when inserted but nothing worse than bad period cramps. I had spotting for a few days after and light cramps.

They warned me of a heavier flow and more intense cramps when I got it but it's been the exact opposite. It's good for 10 years (can be removed sooner if you want) and has zero hormones. I'll never use another form of BC again! Highly recommended!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
