"i&#039;ve had skyla for a year and three months; the insertion was painful and uncomfortable, i had some very light spotting, cramping, and a bit of nausea the first day, but by the following day i was absolutely fine. all in all, this has been the best decision i&#039;ve ever made in terms of birth control, prior to skyla i took pills and they wreaked havoc on my body and libido, after almost three years i was fed up with the side effects so i opted to try something new. i would recommend this iud to anyone reconsidering their current method of bc, the simplicity and joy of not having to remember a pill every night, emergency prescription runs, and the improvement in the overall feeling of my body is incredible and well worth one day of discomfort."
