"i&#039;ve had skyla for almost 2 years now, and i have never been completely happy with it. i was told it would take 6 months for it to &quot;settle in&quot; for the spotting to subside, which was true. but i still get stabbing pains from time to time without bleeding. 

after a year it seems it has stopped working because now i&#039;m back to bleeding heavily and irregularly, i have a period sometimes twice a month and there is no &quot;schedule&quot;. 

i am having it removed and switching to mirena."
