"i&#039;m 17 and i got skyla put in 8 months ago and it&#039;s been bad ever since. it didn&#039;t help my period at all. i still get awful cramps and it has made my period last at least two weeks sometimes longer! i&#039;ve been back to the doctor three times since insertion and they have found nothing wrong with it. i&#039;m scheduling my appointment to get it taken out this week. i&#039;d rather have to worry about taking the pill every day instead of paying so much for pads and tampons every month!"
