"i am 16 and have had about a 4 year history with ovarian cysts. i had skyla placed last month during a light period. 30 minutes before the procedure, i took 800 mg ibuprofen and 2 midol. i did experience pain during the procedure but only for a moment during the placement prep to place the iud. immediately, i felt sore. an hour later, i started feeling irritable but it passed after 30 mins. 2 days after insertion, i started experiencing severe cramps and it continued for the rest of the month every 2-3 days. for the past week and a half, i&#039;ve been having extremely painful cramps. last week i went back to my gyno for cramps and i got an internal ultrasound. it showed a large cyst on my ovary but the doc basically said it was normal. he prescribed me 550 mg naproxen for the cramping. but overall, skyla has been effective."
