"i had skyla inserted february 2016. yes, as all the other comments and reviews have stated, it was the most painful experience &#039;down under&#039; that i have ever been through. i am a 26 year old with no children. i had spotting for the first couple of weeks with extremely harsh cramping. my first period was normal, with every cycle becoming lighter and lighter. i am now 4 months into having the skyla inserted and i couldn&#039;t be happier! the cramping has subsided, only arising around the time when i am on my cycle. i haven&#039;t noticed any weight gain and my sex drive is through the roof! (i don&#039;t feel it during intercourse either!) the only reason i didn&#039;t rate skyla 10/10 is because of the painful insertion. otherwise, i am completely happy!"
