"i&#039;ve had skyla for about 5 months now and i have to say i don&#039;t love it. the insertion process was not as bad as i thought, despite the crazy reviews. once i got it however i had pretty intense cramps, lower back pain, &amp; other period symptoms for at least a month. i am used to very painful cramps and i can usually handle them but it was honestly a nightmare. my immediate reaction to this was to get it removed but i thought i was being a bit rash and i would just leave it in and give it a fair shot. as time went on the cramps did subside and my body felt better but still not back to normal. i also noticed i was beginning to break out a lot and i&#039;ve had clear skin my entire life. not only was i breaking out but it was also painful to have sex"
