"i had my first skyla inserted 4/13 then removed 3/16, and i just got my second 10/2016. i absolutely love the skyla. my dr gave me vicodin &amp; valium to take before insertion, but i still felt the typical pain and discomfort. i&#039;ve had consistent heavy bleeding since my second insertion, but only discomfort for the first few days. i go back in nov for a follow-up ultrasound to see if it has moved. i have yet to have an issue with the iud- my partner and i had unprotected sex during the duration of my 1st and no pregnancies. i did not get many periods for that monthly reassurance though. i absolutely recommend the skyla if your dr deems it a good option for you."
