"i just got my skyla inserted on monday (5 days ago). the insertion was pretty painful and more awkward than a normal pap. at insertion my pain level went to about a 9 i got super hot and nauseous but it went away in less than a minute. i laid there for a few walked out an drove back to work (i had it done on my lunch break). all week i&#039;ve had severe cramps but it like a bad period when it first came. i&#039;m using a heating pad and it really helps. i haven&#039;t had this for long but i&#039;m hopeful it all turns out fine. my bc pills were $100 a month and my high deductible insurance helped none. i have about a week before i can get of the pill (it takes two weeks for skyla to be effective)."
