"i got skyla inserted march 15th, which was the 5th day of my period. it was suggested i get it inserted while on my cycle due to the fact that i&#039;ve never had children and during your cycle your cervix is supposed to open up some. insertion hurt like hell i groaned in pain that was the absolute worst pain i&#039;ve experienced (i&#039;ve had my nipples pierced and a foot tattoo which are pretty painful but the insertion tops that!), i got so hot afterwards and light headed i had to sit there for a minute while the nurse got me water. haven&#039;t had any side effects besides constant spotting like i haven&#039;t stopped bleeding since the insertion, its march 25th so i&#039;ve had additional bleeding for a week and half going on two weeks. i hope it stops soon!!"
