"i wasn&#039;t near as nervous as i shouldve been before the insertion of skyla. my doctor said that in some cases your uterus can be pointed a different direction which affects the ease of the insertion, which was my case. im not sure if this was the reason for my pain but i have never cramped this badly. after having it removed i nearly passed out. i can normally tolerate pain but i&#039;ve never hurt as bad as i did following the insertion. my cramps were nearly unbearable. i would go through spells that feel how that of contractions would. the cramping eased off after 2 days but it wasnt the end. i&#039;m on my 5th week and although im not bleeding anymore (i was previously on depo which made me bleed a consistent 3 1/2 months) it occasionaly cramps."
