"i got skyla in september of 2015 and the procedure was relatively painless just some slight cramping during the measurement of my uterus. i took a couple advil beforehand. since getting it i have gained 13 lbs even though i have started exercising more regularly to combat the weight gain. i have also gotten acne which i have never had before. my face is constantly breaking out and i also get it on my back and behind (all new). i have been reading some other forums and a lot of other women were experiencing the same problem but all of their doctors kept saying weight gain isn&#039;t from it. so instead of going to my doctor i decide to pull it out myself. i just had to feel for the strings and pull like a tampon. would not recommend skyla at all."
