"i researched skyla extensively before having it placed about 8 months ago. i had it placed in february and then in may i found out i had a 6cm cyst on my right ovary. i was having horrible cramping and sharp pain. after being in pain for 2 months, the symptoms finally started to go away. my doctors said that it was probably just a coincidence and that skyla does not cause cysts. unfortunately i just found out i have another large cyst on my left ovary, so i had the iud removed. prior to having skyla placed, i had never had an issue with ovarian cysts. i would not recommend this birth control if you think there could be a possibility that you are at a higher risk of cysts!"
