"i had skyla inserted a month ago for the sole purpose of having worry-free sex. my periods were easy to get through before the insertion with essentially no cramps, no mood swings, no bloating, light bleeding, etc. basically every period-haver&#039;s dream.

the skyla insertion was mostly just uncomfortable: 10 seconds of discomfort, a pinch, 5 more seconds of discomfort, then it was over. i was good to go no less than a minute after the procedure.

since the procedure, though, i have had non-stop spotting of thick blood. the cramps have been beyond excruciating. i was bedridden for a day because of them. the pain is absolutely terrible to the point where i am considering getting the iud taken out.

just be wary of the side effects."
