"i&#039;ve had skyla for 3 years now. i was 21 when it was originally placed. at that time i knew virtually nothing about skyla so i assumed every risk would happen to me. none of them, not one, happened. there was the slight pain when it was placed and i honestly don&#039;t even remember spotting in the weeks afterwards, but that was 3 years ago. since then i&#039;ve had no troubles, worries, or children. so in my case this has been an absolute success. i&#039;ve read some of the other horror stories and honestly i would&#039;ve been afraid to get one after those. but, i can truthfully say, for me it&#039;s been great."
