"i had skyla put in exactly a year ago. insertion was a bit painful but only lasted seconds. i was in and out of the doctors within 10-15 min. procedure was 1 whole minute probably. 3 weeks later i went to the er because i couldn&#039;t stand the pain and i knew something was wrong, found out i had an sti and it was a sti that the doctors were supposed to test for before putting in the iud. long story short, once all those were cleared up, the pain was fine. to this day i still have a bit of cramps often but nothing too bad and my periods are much lighter. overall i am very happy with skyla. if it wasn&#039;t for the issues at the beginning, which was the doctors fault, i would rate skyla a 10!"
