"i just had skyla inserted this morning and it was not that bad. the procedure was about 2-3mins tops. it felt like a pap with a really bad cramp and then it was over. i took a 600ml iburprofen beforehand. now i just feel mild cramping. honestly, i siked myself out so bad thinking it would nearly kill me to be inserted, that i laughed when it was finished. of course, everyone is different and i have had a child. but all things considered it was it was a simple procedure. don&#039;t read into the horror stories. being tense during insertion will only make it worse. everyone is different."
