"i had the skyla put in on 3-16-16. during insertion i experienced the worst cramping i&#039;ve ever felt &amp; i got hot sweats &amp; almost passed out. i felt miserable cramps for the next few days &amp; bad bloating. the first 2 months my periods lasted 8 days &amp; were very heavy. since i got it almost 3 months ago i have gained 15 pounds while still using my same workout &amp; eating plan. also my boyfriend tells me during sex he can feel the wires poking him and it kind of hurts. not only that i have felt slightly bloated since the placement of skyla. i thought i would just wait till the 6 month marker but i this point i am sick of feeling this way &amp; gaining weight. i am having it removed tomorrow &amp; going back to pills which i&#039;ve been on for the past 3 years"
