"i have had the skyla iud in me since october 2014. the insertion wasnt so bad, cramps for a day. birth control pills were not agreeing with my body and surprisingly skyla has been the best option for me. during the first two months i had constant spotting and mood swings. so far i have had no new side effects. i do spot a little bit during days my periods are supposed to arrive (which, isnt that often. maybe like once per 4 months or more) and if i sit in a funny position sometimes i can feel the iud poke me. my boyfriend and i do not use condoms anymore, and felt no need for them. i havent had any pregnancy scares at all. definitely recommend for younger girls who have never had children, and dont plan to have any for the next while"
