"i have had the skyla for about a year now and i must say when i got it inserted i thought i was going to die! the process was quick but the pain was unbearable after. i&#039;ve always had bad cramps and heavy bleeding but now all of that has tapered off since i&#039;ve had it so long. i haven&#039;t had a period in about a month but i can say the only thing i don&#039;t like is the heavy discharge. i&#039;m 23 with one child and an iud was my only choice due to health reasons. good luck to you all ladies!"
