birth control
"A lot of spotting for the first two months, and cramping-wise I felt like I was on my period for two months. It wasn't ideal but of course I stuck it out, and skyla definitely did what it was advertised to do! I had unprotected sex with a stable partner with no thoughts of pregnancy. My periods completely went away in 3 months. That's right-no periods for 1.5 years! Those are the postitive aspects of skyla, but no one really talks about the negative side effects. I was prepared for cramping and bleeding, but I also started getting terrible cystic acne, and my breasts would painfully swell (one at a time) two cup sizes. I ended up getting it removed after 1.5 years and I'm really happy I did. The positive aspects of skyla weren't worth it"
