"it&#039;s been 3.5 months it was absolutely awful until a week ago. insertion wasn&#039;t as bad as i thought it would be, but i have a pretty high tolerance for pain. it was uncomfortable &amp; i felt slightly crampy for about a week, nothing an advil or two couldn&#039;t fix. during the adjustment period my pms was just monstrous. cheers to my bf for staying by my side through it. i couldn&#039;t control my emotions at all. i kept telling myself to give it 3 months, see if it&#039;ll calm down after my body gets used to it &amp; thankfully i&#039;m feeling almost myself again. i got off my old bc ortho tri cyclen due to pms. i was hesitant since it did wonders for my skin, but so not worth the mood swings. skyla gets 7/10. 

cons: break outs, heavy periods, lots of spotting"
