"i have had skyla for a year now, and i am so glad that i decided to go ahead with the insertion. i had always had extremely easy periods until i started college, when they started to get so bad i couldn&#039;t leave my bed in the mornings and was missing class. i have a blood disorder so regular pill birth control wasn&#039;t an option for me. the insertion of skyla was very painful, however i had never had sex. i was in pain/feeling sick for a week or so after the insertion, but it went away eventually. skyla gradually decreased my period to where i now no longer see hardly anything in my underwear and i feel hardly and period effects. skyla has been a lifesaver for me and has drastically improved my wellbeing in college."
