"i had my skyla inserted three days ago (february 15th, a lovely late valentine&#039;s day present) i knew the inserting and measuring weren&#039;t going to feel good and i was right but the pain was like a bad period cramp that lasts for maybe 30ish seconds. i&#039;ve been on the pill for 6 years prior to my getting the skyla (i&#039;m 20 w/ no kids) and found myself forgetting to take my pill on time or at all! which is not good as i am in no way, shape, or form ready for a mini me. my doc had me come in while i was on my period as the cervix is looser when your menstruating. i had it put in on the second day of my period and by the next day i had stopped bleeding!! i hope this continues as that was the major appeal for me of this bc."
