"i&#039;m 21 and i just had skyla implanted 7 days ago a few days before i started my cycle. i can say i was extremely freaked out at first but afterwards i was fine and had some mild cramping and bleeding. usually my periods last 4 days, i&#039;ve been bleeding for 7 days straight now. i don&#039;t have any abdominal pain just waiting for the bleeding to stop. overall my cramps have became more intense and i would recommend taking pain pills before and after insertion."
