"skyla was the first form of birth control medication i have experienced. the insertion was extremely painful and since the iud was inserted i have been in debilitating pain. the type of cramps i have received since the iud was inserted are the type of cramps that hindered me with walking and even speaking. i was told to give the iud a try for at least a month and it was horrible. i have had to wear tampons every day because i have had brown bloody discharge for 30 days straight. i&rsquo;m getting this iud removed this week, and i cannot wait to have a pain free life again. oh, and i started my period today and the pain is even worse, although i&rsquo;m not gushing blood, the pain is preventing me from having a normal life."
