"so i was reading all these reviews about the insertion of skyla and totally freaked me out but everyone is different. i was on a generic version of seasonique.  i wanted to have a less hormonal birth control and my gyn recommended skyla. i had a friend come up with me just in case i needed to have someone drive me home. i took the 800mg of ibuprofen 30 minutes like recommended. she got everything ready while i laid there. i could barely feel her inserting it. she did tell me she does them all day and maybe that&#039;s why it was with easy. she also said i picked the right one bc my cervix wouldn&#039;t dilate pass a 5, which the mirena or the copper iud. i had very light cramping couple days and then a 5 day period."
