"i am 22 years old and i got the skyla about 7 months ago. i&#039;m not going to lie getting it inserted was pretty painful, but i was easily able to drive myself home. the next two weeks i felt pretty bloated and constipated but nothing crazy. i spotted a little at first, but now haven&#039;t had a period in about 5 months. that freaks me out so i get pregnancy tests every once in a while just to be safe. i didn&#039;t get acne or gain weight. so far i like it a lot better than the pill."
