"i had skyla put in two days ago, and honestly it wasn&#039;t bad at all. going in it just felt like a weird cramp and it was pretty uncomfortable but considering the facts that it was over in a few minutes, i&#039;m used to terrible cramps, and i&#039;m now completely protected from pregnancy and more painful periods for three whole years, i found it to be completely worth it. just keep taking deep breaths, take ibuprofen an hour before and after, and do your best to relax and you&#039;ll be absolutely fine."
