"i have had the skyla iud for about two weeks. the insertion process was a painful but it was quick. so far i love the skyla i have not had any problems with them and i hope i don&#039;t. my period came on and lasted for a week and it was heavy which they said it was normal in the first 3-6 months the only thing that i hate is the cramps that comes with them for me it is really painful but i took a 800mg ibruprofen and a heating pad and it goes away. but every person has a different experience i love it so far and if you decide to get one don&#039;t be scared if you have a great obgyn then it will be fine and make sure you ask a lot of questions that you may be concerned about."
