"i got my skyla iud inserted in january 2017. it&rsquo;s october 2017 now. i liked it for 7 months until now. i will have to say the insertion was absolutely horrible that was about 10/10 pain. it is the closest to ever feeling like giving birth. i&rsquo;ve never felt anything more painful in my life. after insertion, i was bleeding for around 2 months straight. it officially calmed down and i had light periods like usual per month. now at 7 months in, i have periods now that last for two weeks long on/off and painful cramps. every time after i have sex, i run to the bathroom and i wipe tons of blood. i was 150 pounds when it was inserted, now i&rsquo;m 177pounds. i am freaking out for weight gain, it has been convenient, no maintenance, and i&rsquo;m not pregnant."
