"i&#039;m 18 years old and could never keep up with the pill so i went looking for other birth controls. after lots of consideration i decided to go with the skyla and i can say it&#039;s been the best decision i&#039;ve ever made. i&#039;ve had it for 14 months now and i&#039;m 80% sure my periods have stopped. i will admit the insertion was the worse pain i&#039;ve ever felt! i&#039;ve read a lot of reviews saying girls reacted badly with daily bleeding, major pms, and weight gain but i never had any of that. i barely get cramps. i will say follow drs orders and check your strings after every period or at least once a month it&#039;ll settle your nerves. don&#039;t feed into iud horror stories, you&#039;ll just psych yourself out. it&#039;s amazing not having to take a daily contraceptive!!!"
