"23 with no children, i&#039;ve had skyla for almost a year now. i&#039;m an active duty military spouse so i paid absolutely nothing for this iud. i was on the depo shot for several years and experienced pretty severe weight gain but had no periods, light occasional cramping. then i switched to the pill for several more years, towards the end i had regular once a month periods with controlled weight and no acne but excruciating breast and head pains. which was the deciding factor to change. my doctor and i opted for skyla hoping to eliminate my previous symptoms. so far, i&#039;ve had absolutely no periods, no spotting and no cramping. my head aches have improved for the most part. no breast pain yet, but i have experienced acne and weight gain."
