"the procedure for skyla was painful but doable for anyone. i got it done at 830am and was at work for the day by 1030am. it was a little painful throughout the day. i&#039;ve had skyla now for 8 months and absolutely hate it. i bled constantly for the first 4/5 months and now i have a period for 2 weeks. i have become depressed and have severe cramps that i never had before. cramps so bad they wake me up in the middle of the night and i just yell in pain. my husband has noticed a big difference in my emotions and attitude. he says i&#039;ve been a lot more emotional and sad since the iud was inserted. needless to say, i am having it removed. i would not recommend this to anyone, although it has been extremely effective."
