"i had a bad experience with the insertion of skyla. i went there by myself and almost passed out at my obgyn once i was about to leave. i was in horrible (cramping) pain for about 3-4 hours after. there are a lot of people that don&#039;t experience it that badly but this was just my personal expensive. i do love how i never have to remember to take a pill everyday. with going back to school and working full time it&#039;s hard to remember anything. my periods are normally pretty light but seem to last longer now 5-6 days. since the insertion i have experienced more headaches and sometimes feel light headed and dizzy. i have also had a significant weight gain 15 lbs since i got it. no diet change and i always feel bloated."
