"i&#039;ve had skyla for about 5 months and have mixed feelings about it. the insertion wasn&#039;t that big of a deal (uncomfortable but tolerable) but it&#039;s the side effects i&#039;ve been having issues with. first of all, i bled everyday for the first two months along with horrible cramps. it&#039;s gotten better since but i still spot a lot. i&#039;m a person who has always had strong reactions to hormonal bc and i am starting to notice mood swings and an overall more sad mood than normal. i don&#039;t know if this is bc of skyla but it probably is because it&#039;s not like me to feel like this. i also have lost about 15 pounds and know i have an ovarian cyst which i never had before. i&#039;m considering getting it out even though it&#039;s nice to not take a daily pill."
