"i had been on the pill for nearly a year before deciding i should find an alternative form of birth control since i had trouble taking the pill on time and every day. i decided to get the skyla iud because my doctor kind of talked me into it, but when i brought up my fear of the iud embedding into my uterine muscles she said she had never heard of such a thing, which seemed sketchy because i had personally known people it had happened to but i still went along with scheduling my insertion appointment. i went in for the insertion and it was a very quick process. worst pain i&#039;ve ever felt and i have a high pain tolerance. cramps and spotting on and off thus far, but i love this iud! definitely worth the short 15 mins of pain"
