"i decided to get the skyla about 10 months after having my son. i never had any problems with the pill, but i wanted something i wasn&#039;t going to have to remember to take everyday. i decided on the skyla because it lasted 3 years, which was perfect timing to have another baby. the insertion wasn&#039;t bad, just some pressure, but my doctor said it usually isn&#039;t as bad for someone who has had a baby before. all was good the couple days after insertion and then i bled for about 2 weeks straight. i also started getting pretty bad cramps that made it hard to even function some days. at about 4 weeks the cramps were unbearable (felt like labor contractions) so needless to say i got it taken out. it took my body 2-3 weeks to get back to normal after."
