Comparing Liletta vs Skyla

For Birth Control Got liletta on 10/13/16 and so far so good. Before it I couldn't have sex without pain and now my sex life has never been better. I had cramping the day I got it but it was gone the next morning. I did also have spotting the day of and that has gone as well. I will update in a couple of weeks but so far so good.

For Birth Control I am 25 no kids never had BC I got liletta about 3 months ago. Insertion wasn’t that bad. I took some pain pills before I went. It was like a really bad cramp and only lasted a few minutes. Afterwards I didn’t bleed at all for a week and then I was spotting every day for about a month. I’m going into my 3rd month and have not had a period since getting it at all. I cramped so badly for an entire month. I had to carry Advil with me everywhere I went. But after the first month passed they settled down. Now on month 3 the cramps are very rare. The 1st month my skin was awful I was depressed and had so many mood swings that 1st month. And now at the 3rd month I am noticing the breast tenderness everyone mentions. I also have like a really thick clear jellylike discharge. I’m still waiting for my first period while having the IUD. (I’ve taken pregnancy tests so I know that’s not it) but now that the cramps have settled I’m a lot happier with my IUD.

For Birth Control I’m 27, got Skyla February of 2017, so I’ve had Skyla in for over a year, the beginning 6 months were rough! Crazy insane cramps & bloating ! Now periods last 2 days or so & cramps aren’t so bad. BUT the side effects... So before Skyla I weighed 125lbs. Today I weighed in at 135lb. I've always worked out, no red meats & small portion sized food! Nothing has changed.... but some how I just keep putting on weight ! Oh I've also noticed my acne increased ! It’s taken much longer for the acne on my face to go away, it appears, then blemishes & I'm stuck with it for months. I got skyla because I just got married and was not ready for kids ! But this battle of weight and acne is really depressing I’m trying to make the decision of removing it ahead of time, needless to say this IUD does do its job but the side affects are starting to be more long term than anything. Super torn

For Birth Control I only had Skyla placed for about 4 months, which isn't that long to have your body adjust to the hormones. I switched to this IUD after having taken birth control pills for about a year and 3 months. I wasn't a fan of this IUD's side effects. My skin isn't perfect, but I never used to have major break outs. With skyla, I started breaking out in areas that I never used to break out in around the time of my periods. I was spotting sporadically for the first couple of months, so my skin would just continue to break out. Also, I never used to get terrible cramps, but they just went from a 2/10 to an 7/10 on the pain scale (10 being unbearable). I also experienced intense cravings around the time of my period, and vaginal dryness. Lastly, my periods went from lasting 4-5 days to lasting 11 days, but they were light periods. Because my periods were so close together, all of these side effects would just essentially continue throughout the whole four months I was on it.
