"i love skyla. please don&#039;t let the other people worry you, insertion is not as bad as it sounds. it was ten seconds of serious cramping and then i was fine. mild cramping after but nothing out of control, i actually even went camping that same day. i spotted on and off for about a month and was irregular for maybe 2-3 months but now my period is light, constantly on time and no side effects. i chose skyla because my obgyn said it&#039;s better for women without children because the cervix hasn&#039;t been widened as much and skyla is smaller than others like mirena. the relief at never having to take a pill is wonderful and honestly you never feel it and neither will your partner! such a relief and no worries for another 2 years!"
