"i&#039;ve had skyla since july 2015, and i really love it! insertion was painful, but it was over quickly. i took the day and the day after off of work and just slept through the pain. my periods are much lighter now, and i don&#039;t cramp at all. i&#039;ve gained 10ish pounds and my skin is breaking out, but that could be unrelated as i am stressed out right now! i highly recommend skyla."
