"**i got skyla inserted yesterday. i cancelled several appointments and prolonged the procedure because of hearing horror stories. i did not take any pain medicine and i did not get pain medicine injected prior to insertion. i was extremely nervous.

honestly, it hurt but it wasn&#039;t unbearable. it was a very severe cramping/pinching feeling for about 10 seconds. if you are worried about the extremely painful part- it lasts 10 seconds. that&#039;s it. if you are worried about afterwards, i was sweating and felt dizzy for about 30 minutes after procedure.  i was cramping all day and still am today but i would get these bad cramps the first 2 days of my period anyway. was it so painful i regret doing it, no! hopefully no future negative side effects"
