"i just wanted to write a review because i read so many negative reviews prior to my experience, that i figured i&#039;d share mine to outweigh the bad. i got skyla a couple of days ago, and i&#039;ve never had an iud. it was a pretty painful experience, but only lasted about five minutes. i had some pretty severe cramping for the next few hours, but was still able to work. the past few days ive had no cramps and only light spotting."
