Welcome to EmpowHER. Thank you for sharing your experience and for reaching out to our community for information. I can only imagine how startling it was to receive this news.
I found this information on the website, Drugs.com.
"Because the contraceptive effect of Skyla is mainly due to its local effects within the uterus, ovulatory cycles with follicular rupture usually occur in women of fertile age using Skyla. During clinical trials, ovarian cysts (reported as adverse reactions if they were abnormal, non-functional cysts and/or had a diameter >3 cm on ultrasound examination) were reported in 13.2% of women using Skyla. Most of these cysts are asymptomatic, although some may be accompanied by pelvic pain or dyspareunia. In most cases the ovarian cysts disappear spontaneously during two to three months observation. Persistent ovarian cysts should be evaluated. Surgical intervention is not usually required."
From the Skyla website, "Most common adverse reactions...ovarian cysts 13.2%.."
