"i had they skyla inserted 4/22/15 so it has been 6 months now i have a very high tolerance to pain and the insertion was not the best but do take ibuprofen before hand and you&#039;ll be fine. the worst of the pain is right before my period the cramps from ovulating and right before my cycle starts. i have had my period now for two weeks at a time every two weeks which is killing my sex life with my boyfriend and my pockets on the amount of tampons i am purchasing my acne is still the same i&#039;m always bloated  and i&#039;m shedding so much and have gained a ton of weight i wanted to at least try to give it a year to see if things were going to change but it&#039;s just so agrivating i know some love the skyla but it&#039;s not for me."
