"i got skyla put in yesterday and completely freaked my self out reading the reviews about pain. it took maybe 4 minutes for the entire process and i would do it again in a heart beat. it&#039;s definitely painful, but it&#039;s just like havin 3 severe menstrual cramps as each step is done. i took 3 ibuprofen 45 min before my app, but dr had to go do emergency c section so it was probably nearly worn off by the time i had the procedure done. i did get light headed and had cramping of various intensity come and go the rest of the night, but nothing i haven&#039;t felt before during a period. ive only had mild cramping today, but i&#039;m also on my period so i believe it&#039;s just a combination of those factors. hopefully no major side effects!"
