"i got skyla inserted 6 months ago and it&#039;s been a nightmare since then. i&#039;m 25 with no kids. my friend got mirena when she was 21 and said it was amazing so i figured i&#039;d try it. insertion was pretty painful and i had cramps for a week. i went back and got an ultrasound to check the placement and was informed i had a irritated cyst and that it would go away..here i am 6 months later every 2 weeks i get insane cramping and a week long period. before skyla 3-4 day long periods and no cramps. i told myself if after 6 months im still in pain i&#039;m getting it out. obviously my body is not going to adjust and it&#039;s not worth the pain! i&#039;ve also gained 20lbs in the first 4 months and noticed more zits, anxiety, and my hormones are crazy."
