"i love my skyla! i&#039;m 19 and was on the pill for about 4 years and my long term boyfriend and i wanted something more permanent and effective so i went with skyla! insertion was painful but over in 30 seconds. i had my feet in stirrups for less than a minute! i had very minimal spotting but i had severe cramps for the next 2 days. they were pretty bad. but on day 3 i woke up and they were all gone! and i haven&#039;t had any bleeding for spotting since! it&#039;s been 3 months and my doctor said i&#039;m just one of the lucky ones who loses their period! no cramping no ache no weight gain. so far the only side effect i have had is no periods! i love it and would do it all over again anytime!"
