"i had skyla for just shy of a year when i found out i was pregnant. i went to the er with terrible abdominal and back pain, and found out i had a life-threatening ectopic pregnancy. the iud was confirmed to still be correctly positioned, but it had not prevented pregnancy for me. i had emergency surgery to remove skyla and my left fallopian tube. despite the over 99% effectiveness of skyla, i would never recommend it to anyone after my horrible experience."
