"okay, so the insertion of this thing sucked, and the 1-2 months following also sucked. it was painful, i basically had a period for a month, and would have very regular spotting. my sex life was a little off as a result, but my husband was ok with that. 6 months later it was all worth it. almost no period at this point, still cramp during that time - but nothing that can&#039;t be managed. my moods are balanced and i&#039;m so happy i did it. everyone&#039;s experience is different, but i highly recommend skyla is you have heavy periods. this did exactly what i needed it to, and my husband is pretty happy about not having to worry about condoms anymore. it&#039;s makes &quot;being in the moment&quot; a lot more fun :)"
