"i&#039;ve had the skyla iud for about a month now! i&#039;m 19 years old and have already tried implanon and the pill (sprintec). 
cons: 
- insertion was painful (i&#039;ve never felt that part of my body before) but it only lasted less than a minute! as soon as the insertion is over there&#039;s no pain. 
- had the most awful cramps for about a week (i believe it&#039;s because i was about to/or was on my period) 
- spotted for 3 weeks and had a heavy period (1 week after insertion) 
- bloated for a while and gained about 5 lbs of water retention weight but can&#039;t seem to shake off the leftover 3-4 lb weight gain :( 

pros!!: 
- no babies! i&#039;ve had unprotected sex with my partner numerous times since insertion, and everything is a-ok"
