"i got my skyla in july of 2015. i&#039;m 27 and have had my period for over a year. every dr. continues to put me on different bc to make it stop but even now in november it hasn&#039;t stopped more then a week or so.  i feel sex activates my bleeding for some reason and it gives me light cramps i don&#039;t have them as bad as i used to though.  the inserting of the iud was the worst experience.  i was on my period and already cramping so maybe that&#039;s why it was like a nightmare to me. i hope it will stop after the 6 month mark but i am constantly in need of tampons and still haven&#039;t stopped bleeding.  i don&#039;t worry about birth control that&#039;s the only good part of my experience."
