"having the skyla inserted was one of the worst pains i have felt. for about an hour after i was super nauseated and faint. i would definitely recommend taking pain killers before. i have now had it in a little over a year and i love it however i have struggled with my weight this whole time. i have gained about 8 lbs. i am a person who constantly works out and eats pretty healthy most the time. because of this i am thinking of getting it removed and getting the copper iud. i also have pretty bad bloating, however my periods are great and light."
