"i am 20 w/ no kids. i got skyla b/c i had very painful periods and very bad cramps and i wanted some form of birth control that would atleast stop the bleeding. insertion was painful for me. my boyfriend went w/ me and heard me scream from the lobby. i spotted for about 2 weeks after insertion. my first period was normal. bleeding got lighter and lighter until i no longer had to use a tampon just a pantyliner. after 6 months i stopped bleeding all together just w/ severe cramping throughout the month. my cramping never got better it is actually worse than before but atleast i don&#039;t deal with bleeding too. i still notice a couple drops of blood in my panties periodically. cons: weight gain, no sex drive. good experience so far except cramps!"
