"just got skyla today. my gyno said it would be best to get it on the last few days of my period since i haven&#039;t had kids. it finished yesterday, got the skyla today, and the pain was pretty minimal (i took two advil before). a bit more painful than a pap smear, but it was over super quickly. i had mild cramps and spotting throughout the day, but with advil it was totally fine! seeing all i had to pay was a $50 co-pay for the doctors visit, this was definitely a great choice for three years of birth control!"
