"i had skyla placed on january 29th, 2016. it is now february 9th, 2016. i have been on the pill since i was 15; i&#039;m currently 24. i was sick of taking the pill and wanted to look into implants. i was considering nexplanon (the one that goes in your arm) but decided to proceed with skyla per my nurse&#039;s recommendation. it has been a little over a week since i&#039;ve had it placed and i&#039;ve compiled a list of pros and cons:
pro- immediately and highly effective. pro- no daily pill to take/monthly shots etc. pro- free (with my insurance).con- extremely uncomfortable to have placed, but it only lasts for about a minute. con- i spotted and cramped for the first day and a half (but) pro- nothing since then. con- i think it&#039;s causing me to break out."
