A member asked:

After getting the iud (skyla) removed, do your cycles continue where they were with the iud in or do they start over after removal?

Dr. Jeffrey Levine answered

Specializes in Family Medicine

Rapidly Reversible: Once Skyla removed, levonorgestrel (hormone) levels drop precipitously, and cycles return to whatever pattern you had prior to Skyla. Unlike Mirena/Liletta, only 6% of women stop getting their periods on Skyla, and for many, their cycles remain the same.

A member asked:

I have an expired Skyla IUD. I got it when I was 16 and it is expired by a few years. I am terrified to go to the doctor and tell them how long i have had it in for. I would like to know what the possible risks are for getting it removed so late?
