"i switched from paraguard to skyla about a year and a half ago. i wanted an iud because i&#039;m terrible at taking pills, the nuvaring always fell out, and my acne was so sensitive to any hormones. paraguard gave me the heaviest and most painful periods ever (used a super tampon almost every 45 minutes). i switched to skyla and i&#039;ve had the best experience. the insertion is not the easiest stroll in the park but it&#039;s all uphill from there. my acne nearly disappeared, i don&#039;t have to pay for bc pills or condoms all the time, and i practically don&#039;t have a period anymore. two days a month i spot some and have some mild cramps and that&#039;s it. nothing a little ibuprofen can&#039;t help. :)"
