"i got my skyla put in today. so initially i assumed i would have a check up before i even got it put in so i haven&#039;t taken any pain medicine before. the dr. putting some numbing stuff and then gave me a pap. after she stuck a clamp and tried to stick the iud in but my cervix needed to be  dilated  because it wouldn&#039;t go in. that pain of the  dilation  definitely hurt and putting the actual iud hurt. but not like intolerable pain. it felt like the worst period cramp i&#039;ve ever gotten +1 for like 30 seconds. and i usually get pretty bad period cramps so it wasn&#039;t anything new to me. (if you don&#039;t get bad period cramps it will definitely hurt) walked out on my own and went home and took ibuprofen. i&#039;m slightly cramping and no bleeding yet."
