"i just got my skyla inserted yesterday, and i, like most girls, psyched myself out beforehand by reading a ton of horrible stories about it. i went in with a bad mindset. i also got scheduled to have it inserted on the first day of my period, which is not what i wanted to do. they recommend insertion during your period, but usually not the first day. so i had absolutely terrible cramps to begin with. i have to say, the insertion process was definitely the worst pain i&#039;ve ever experienced in my entire life. i&#039;m 21, no children, and have been on the pill since i was about 18. if i could suggest anything, don&#039;t have it inserted on the first day of your period, if you have terrible cramps like i do. i got terribly sick and almost passed out."
