"(18) first of all my doctor did not prescribe any pain med or even tell me to take advil before coming in to have skyla inserted. i loved the idea of a 3 year birth control with no work as i can hardly remember to take my daily vitamin everyday! it was the worst pain of my whole entire life. i&#039;ve had 160lbs fall directly onto the top of my knee cap and this experience was by far worse than that. i have longer lighter periods now which i hate because my period was perfect before, the standard 7 day period and now i bleed randomly and there is no pattern at all. after it was inserted i went to check out and felt so faint and sick i ran to the bathroom and almost threw up. i felt awful and like i was going to pass out. the mood swings suck."
