"i got the skyla inserted three weeks before i got married (virgin until then). putting in skyla was fast, but easily the most painful experience of my entire life. it sounds like someone is shooting a rubber-band gun and it feels like someone has shot your uterus. the cramps were the worst cramps i have had in my entire life- i couldn&#039;t focus, i was in tears- really the most painful experience ever. the cramping pain and bleeding didn&#039;t stop for about two months and periods are still extremely painful. i have bad mood swings, i get depressed all the time, and my libido is definitely decreased. my husband can also feel the wires sometimes and it&#039;s painful to him. i&#039;m not pregnant, so it works... but i&#039;m not sure it&#039;s worth the side effects."
