"continued... since then i have had very light periods usually once every 3 months with thick, bloody discharge on the first day and light spotting for 1-2 days after for a total of 3 days. i haven&#039;t needed a tampon in nearly 3 years! pantie liner is all i need, if at all. i do get pms monthly though- cravings, moody, maybe a little breakout but nothing you wouldn&#039;t get with any other birth control. i have tried pill, patch, and nuva ring-which i liked but it gave me ovarian cysts so i switched to skyla. i highly recommend skyla! while it has never happened to me.. if you are bleeding for more than 7 days at any given time while on skyla go. see. a. doctor. something is wrong! again, 23, never been pregnant, and love skyla!"
