"i&#039;ve had skyla for almost 5 months now. the procedure for getting it inserted was a bit painful. i got it inserted 7 weeks after having my third child so i didn&#039;t think it would be so bad. i felt a pinch that lasted about 10 seconds. it was quick but painful in my experience. i immediately started to spot after. i had heavy bleeding that lasted for about a month. i haven&#039;t had a period since, i have been spotting on and off though. not sure if me breastfeeding has anything to do with it. i get a lot of nasty discharge. it must have something to do with skyla because i had been fine before that. i check my strings constantly and at first they were very hard. my husband described them as bobby pin type of feeling. been having pains lately too"
