"i love skyla. since i got skyla 10 months ago i have never had to worry about being pregnant. my boyfriend and i have unprotected sex and he doesnt pull out or anything 4-5x a week and i never have to worry about the effectiveness. getting skyla inserted was nothing... i took a few advils and a painkilller before insertion because i was so scared it was going to hurt, but it felt like mild discomfort and pressure for a few seconds. the worst part is the spotting. i spotted for about 2 months straight after i got it and still spot sometimes but my periods are short and few and far between. im occasionally very emotional (once a month). i get random cramps sometimes but its not bad given how effective this is with hardly any side effects"
