"i am 24 and have no kids. i have had skyla in for 4 months now. i took an aleve an hour before the iud was inserted and had some pain right after the insertion for 5 seconds. afterwards, i had two days of cramps and spotting, but nothing unbearable. since that day i have had no issues. i have more intense cramps around the time of my period but my period lasts less than 3 days. the second month i missed my period all together which made me nervous but my doctor said it was normal and i had my period the following month. i have no spotting between periods. i also do not have any mood swings, depression, and weight gain, which were side effects for me with oral birth control pills and the nuvaring. i would definitely recommend skyla."
