"i am 23 yrs old i have never been on birth control nor have i been pregnant before. i just got my skyla inserted a week ago on the second day of my cycle. i took the cervix softeners the night before as well as ibuprofen the morning of and it did absolutely nothing. the procedure was quick but it was extremely painful.! i cramped up so bad i had to lay there on the table for about five minutes in tears before i was able to move and then had cramping for several hours following the procedure. at first for two day i could feel my iud well at least the strings poking/stabbing the inside of my vagina if i walked or sat a certain way. it was extremely uncomfortable but it decreased  early and no complications so far."
