"i had an absolutely horrible experience with skyla which began from the insertion. honestly, it was the most painful experience i had ever had. i was close to vomiting and fainting from the pain and i typically have a high tolerance for pain. i had take 800mg of acetaminophen prior to the procuredure as directed and it didn&#039;t help a bit. following that i had bleeding, cramps and ovary pain for the entire duration that i had the iud in. i went to my gynecologist multiple times and they assured me that it was in place and that it was normal to feel this way. i began breaking out on my chin and neck area as well as becoming extremely moody and irritable. i was always tired and had no energy. furthermore, i gained about 7 pounds."
