"i got skyla inserted when i was twenty years old. i had a very irregular period, and was told that skyla would help regulate it. i got the iud inserted 6 may 2015, and now 4 december 2015, i&#039;m still bleeding.  i have days where the bleeding is very light, and i have days where the bleeding is heavy. i have terrible cramping, i even stayed home from class sometimes because of the pain. i&#039;m seriously considering getting the iud removed. i have to buy two boxes of pads (28 count) every month. i definitely do not believe this birth control is worth it."
