"i&#039;m currently 21 yrs old and have had skyla for a little over a year now. the insertion was unpleasant and painful.the cramps i experienced after were the worst cramps i have ever felt before. please take a pain killer immediately if you feel any cramping. every time i experience the cramping it makes me want to vomit and cry. i have never cramped this bad before having skyla. i believe this has helped with my acne but i still breakout majorly when it&#039;s that time. when that time comes around i experience the same painful cramping but only for a couple days. another down side is my period lasts for about 2 weeks! there are no signs of my period decreasing or stopping even after a year of insertion.overall, i regret the skyla."
