"i had skyla inserted 4 days ago. i had read reviews online and prepared myself for the worst! i felt one small cramp when my doctor put the speculum in and zero pain after that. i couldn&#039;t believe when she said she was done! i admitted to her i anticipated what the google reviews had said and she laughed and said &quot;well those women didn&#039;t have me insert theirs! that&#039;s why i took longer prepping!&quot; she has a great sense of humor so don&#039;t over analyze her comment! i had such slight cramping for maybe 3 hours, literally nothing compared to period cramps and spotted on and off light brown for one day... didn&#039;t even need a liner. i can&#039;t feel the iud, have zero cramping or spotting now and am so happy. also, i was not on my period during insertion"
