"this is an update from a previous posting. i am currently on my 6th week of skyla and though it hasn&#039;t been a walk in the park, i still am very happy with my decision. bad side effects: cramping is very random and almost on a daily basis. they&#039;re usually pretty quick, a few minutes or so but can sometimes make me double over in pain. had a few weeks of spotting but it&#039;s pretty much subsided. haven&#039;t really had a full period yet which is weird for me. positive side effects: sex drive has increased where before (on the pill) it was practically nonexistent. i&#039;ve also lost about 10 lbs! since being on the pill, i had gained about 20. my energy also seems to have increased! 6 week check up tomorrow, hopefully all is well!"
