"i&#039;m 18, only had sex once and never been pregnant. i got this iud earlier today. they had me take cytotec (inserted vaginally last night) to help dilate the cervix which i think helped a lot, since when iiwent in today it almost didn&#039;t hurt at all! i also took 3 advil about an hour before the procedure. it only took a few minutes for the doctor to clean, measure and insert the iud. at worst it felt like minor menstrual cramps. since then it&#039;s been a little achey, but again very mild; i&#039;ve had cramps much worse than this. had some spotting since the appointment, but that could also be the start of my period. overall it was such a relief how quick and painless it was, after having read scary reviews the night before. really glad i chose skyla"
