"i had skyla inserted a year ago. having it inserted was not pleasant. there was some heavy cramping and i was bleeding/spotting for the next two months or so but since then my periods have been light if i have them at all my acne has almost completely cleared up. i have not gained any weight, i have lost some (though not on purpose). besides my partner sometimes feeling the strings and some bleeding during sex, as well as some painful cramping from time to time it&#039;s been good. no kids yet haha."
