"i had my skyla iud inserted this past wednesday. prior to my appointment i was reading others reviews, and experiences. some i was horrified by, and others i felt at ease. it all depends on the individual, and your pain tolerance. i would say it was 4-5 on a pain scale. it was a bit painful and uncomfortable during the process. it took about 5-7 minutes tops. i&#039;m happy with my decision as sometimes i would forget to take my pill. with the iud i am worry free for the next 3 years! i say its worth it!"
