"i got skyla march 22nd, 2016, when i had it insertedd the pain was there but was also tolerable. i have spotting afterwards and cramps for 24 hours. it was inserted a few days before the start of my period and my period came on time and after a month or so of on and off spotting i don&#039;t get my periods as regularly. maybe once every 3 - 4 months. i have slight cramping here in and there but it only last a few moments. over all i would definitely recommend for teenagers and women who aren&#039;t great at remembering the pill."
