"first and foremost, this is going to sound counterintuitive, but do not believe everything you read on the internet. the kyleena insertion was hardly considered uncomfortable for me. i know everyone&rsquo;s pain tolerance is different, but i&rsquo;d like to think i have a low pain tolerance and i probably wouldn&rsquo;t have been able to tell that the insertion was any different than a routine gyn visit. if you consider pap smears excruciatingly painful, then you may just find this uncomfortable, however it is a quick 3 minute procedure with hardly any discomfort. maybe, if anything, just some pressure.

disclaimers: i just had it placed 45 minutes ago, without being premeditated, walked out and drove myself home. i am also day 4 on my menstrual cycle."
