"i&#039;ve had skyla for about a year &amp; a 1/2 now. i&#039;ve never had kids and could never remember to take the pill everyday. first of all, when i went for the procedure, that i was told wouldn&#039;t take long and wouldn&#039;t be painful, was actually the worst pain i&#039;ve ever experienced! i passed out from the pain when she inserted it. not to mention the cramps i&#039;ve had continuously every month since having it inserted. i had to see a new dr due to our hospital closing &amp; i told her i wanted it removed. she did the ultrasound and convinced me to keep it. i&#039;ve been considering to have it removed &amp; take the pill. i&#039;m just now losing the weight i had put on, &amp; taking pills is nothing new for me now. i&#039;m tired of the cramps!"
