"i got my skyla about a month ago and i gotta tell you, it hurt like crazy. i was confused when people said it hurt, but not enough to really be bothered by it. i felt there was something seriously wrong with mine because the severe pain from the insertion stayed for over a two weeks. it is finally starting to ease up, but i had to go to my gyno to find out why it hurt so bad. it turns out if you have endometriosis, like i do, you are pretty much screwed for the first month, or whenever your uterus decides to take it. i only paid my deductible so the thing itself was no cost to me. but all in all, it is a pretty useful little birth control. you just have to get through the pain."
