"hey ladies! 
i&#039;ve read some of the reviews and i just want to share my input. i feel like many of the reviews posted are just after skyla was inserted. yes skyla hurt after insertion. i cramped for the first week. i even told the dr for my 1 month check up following this would be the only time. during the 3 years with skyla my periods were significantly lighter,  although a little random. but honestly i couldn&#039;t tell you the last time i bought a box of tampons.  i just went back to see him in march and my 3 years with skyla were up. he removed the old one and reinserted the new one. small difficulty getting it positioned just right but pain sale = 0. since then i have had my period once and it lasted a day. i will preach skyla any day."
