"i got skyla in december 2014 and so far have had a great experience. i am an extremely busy 20 year-old college student, with previous negative experiences with the pill, and skyla has been perfect. the insertion was quite painful and i had cramps for a few days and then spotting for about a month afterwards, but since then my periods have been getting lighter and seemingly a bit farther apart. my partner is a bit of a worrier so having something that&#039;s close to 100% effective has been a real load off his mind, and since we both got tested we don&#039;t have to use condoms anymore. ;) not having to worry about birth control anymore has been fantastic. i would recommend skyla to anyone looking for a low-maintenance form of birth control."
