"i&#039;ve had my skyla inserted for about 2 months already. it is very affective when it comes to preventing pregnancy. when i first got it inserted it was a bit painful, i was bleeding for 2 weeks straight and the cramps were horrible ! when i start my period i don&#039;t stop bleeding for 2-3 weeks (very light bleeding) and then my period comes back in less than a week. overall skyla is very affective and i don&#039;t regret getting it inserted."
