Birth Control
"I was on Skyla for 8-9 months. Insertion was painful but the cramping subsided within a day or so. Skyla is advertised to reduce the frequency of your periods but mine actually became more frequent (every 3 weeks) and lasted longer(8-9 days) than when I was on the pill (3-5 days). Also, it caused my skin to become very oily and I developed cystic acne. I never had an issue with acne until I started Skyla. The only benefit I saw was not having to take a pill every day. After having Skyla removed and going back to my BC pill, my skin and periods went back to normal within 4-6 weeks. Removal wasn&#039;t nearly as painful as insertion. I&#039;m very bummed Skyla didn&#039;t work for me--I was so ready to be done taking a pill every day."
