"i got skyla inserted 5 days ago. i think it&#039;s also helpful to mentioned i naturally miscarried last year for the first time in case anyone wants a comparison. (skyla insertion &gt; miscarriage) i was terrified of the insertion process but it wasn&#039;t like any of the horror stories i&#039;ve read. i should say i took two ibuprofen 200mg 30 mins before. the best way to describe it is like getting a pap smear but for an extra minute. the whole process was less than 2 mins &amp; it just felt like an intense cramp briefly. after that i went back to work &amp; didn&#039;t feel different for 6 hrs, aside from mental awareness. however, 6 hrs later i started getting bad cramps i remedied w/   sleeping through it. now just spotting &amp; occasional mild cramps, but no regrets"
