"i had skyla inserted 7 months ago. the insertion was a nightmare. hands down the absolute most horrific pain i&#039;ve ever experienced in my life. cried &amp; begged to stop. i almost threw up/passed out. actually terrified now of having it removed. my fiance drove us home &amp; i took 800mg ibuprofen. the pain was dull the next day but still present. i had my period for a month after insertion &amp; then have not experienced one since. entire 7th month i&#039;ve had pretty intense cramping of what feels like my cervix. i checked &amp; strings are still in place so i don&#039;t really know what&#039;s going on. my entire adult life i&#039;ve been 86lbs &amp; since having skyla inserted i have shot up to 105lbs. my skin also breaks out at an insane rate now so it&#039;s harder to maintain"
