"the procedure is a fleeting moment compared to how long you keep it in! i&#039;ve been on skyla for about 8 months. i&#039;ll keep it simple. my periods have gotten inconsistently messed up, from spotting to nasty thick stuff and for sometimes - for weeks at a time. my partner can feel it during intercourse so that&#039;s a bit annoying for him. biggest issue hands down is how bad this thing has made my pms symptoms. not just physically but mentally. the mood swings are awful - considering early removal."
