"i am 18 years old. i have already been taking birth control pills before but i was tired of taking them everyday because sometimes i would forget so my doctor did recommend me getting the skyla since i had heavy bleeding also. i got scheduled to do it december 30th it  was the worst pain ever . i couldn&#039;t take it at all when my doctor tried to dilate my cervix so i had to get it done at the hospital and they put me to sleep. i got this done january 8th, had bleeding ever since but its very light and i have to wear panty liners everyday. i love the skyla but the bleeding isn&#039;t my favorite."
