"i had my skyla insertion 3 days ago. i have never had any children &amp; no pregnancies. i decided to look at a safer method &amp; i was looking for another route with a more guaranteed pregnancy protection. i was super nervous &amp; i had no idea what kind of pain to expect other than &quot;severe menstrual cramp&quot; feeling described. the insertion itself was quite painful but i didn&#039;t take any meds prior to my appointment so i highly recommend that. severe cramping occurred for 36-48 hours after insertion. i am now 48-72 hours in &amp; am experiencing no cramps &amp; no bleeding. i will continue my pills for 4 weeks until my follow up appointment. even though insertion was miserable, it lasts 10 seconds. highly recommend this method!"
