I had the IUD skyla placed about 3 years ago before it needed to be replaced. The over all experience wasn't bad and a billion times better than being on the pill. When I was on the birth control pill, those would screw with my moods like mad. Thanks to skyla the issue with that was fixed but it still had it's flaws.
- Breasts would become swollen/sore 1-2 weeks before your actual period.
- Tend to have cramps and sometimes they would be stronger than you're used to.
- Caused adult acne to form on my face.
It's mainly with the last negative that made me get a different IUD instead of going with skyla. I did not want to have to go through the pain of having it replaced every 3 years. Since yesterday I learned that the first time it's replaced and you have another put in. The pain is just as bad, even when you take painkillers.
Yesterday I had skyla taken out(which was painful) and had a different IUD placed called ParaGard(which was painful)

Though even with it being painful to have ParaGard inserted, that pain is 100% worth it since this one lasts 10 years. So 1 day of cramping pain vs 10 years of never having to mess with it again is a sweet deal to me. Plus if I ever decided to have kids before that time is up, the doctor can easily remove it and everything would be good to go.
Who knows, in about 10 years y'all might hear from me about my experience with using Paragard and see if it clears up the acne on my face. :D
I hope y'all enjoyed this take and very informative for some of y'all. Also let me know about your own experience with using an IUD. :)
