"i just got the skyla iud inserted this morning and wanted to share my positive experience, especially after reading all of the horror stories online. for a little background information, i am a 19 year old girl who has never been pregnant before. i have been on birth control pills since about 16. overall i did not have a painful insertion. i will be the first one to say that i do not have a good tolerance for pain and am a big baby about everything. so much so that i am 19 and still cry about getting shots.. a little embarrassing but to put it in to perspective haha. the only part of insertion that was uncomfortable but not painful was the opening of my cervix. don&#039;t listen to the horror stories like i did because i freaked out over nothing!"
