"i got the skyla inserted in november of 2015 due to my doctor thinking it was a better option for me since i am forgetful of the pill. the birth control part has done well but the side effects and pain of it is totally not worth 3-5 years of birth control. i have not felt myself ever since and my periods are excruciating. i used to never cramp and now i feel terrible when i am about to start and start my period. not to mention the weight i have gained on it. i have gained about 20lbs since then. i have dieted, worked out, and taken weight loss pills and nothing seems to help. i will be contacting my doctor to have it removed in the next day or two. it is not worth it in my opinion. i will be going back on the pill after i have it removed."
