"i had my first skyla placed 9/19/2016. insertion of skyla was probably a 6/10 being that i was 2wks away from my new period. the &quot;sounding&quot; or probing as i call it hurt worst than the actual insertion. it was basically just an awkward experience over. i spotted and cramped for 3 days then everything was normal until before my first skyla period on 10/02/16. i had almost unbearable cramps that i had to remind myself to breathe through (coming from somebody with an extremely high pain tolerance, this was a nightmare.) my period passed rather quickly, very light for 2 days and last day being &quot;heavy&quot; to where i needed a tampon. everything is pretty uneventful now."
