"i went in to have my skyla placed yesterday morning. after reading all of these reviews i was hyperventilating and crying on my way there, bc i did not want to experience &quot;the worst pain of my life&quot;. however, it was a complete waste of tears and energy. before the procedure, i started doing heavy breathing, similar to pregnancy breaths, bc i was so nervous and i can tell you i felt nothing. there was a little bit of pressure, but nothing compared to what i&#039;ve read on here. probably a 2/10. it was over in 30 seconds, and as soon as she was done, the pressure vanished. i was shocked. i went to work from 5:45-11:30, &amp; i managed with mild cramping.i cant speak for long term yet, but don&#039;t let other women scare you out of this, its very worth it!"
