"i read the reviews before my skyla insertion and i wish i wouldn&#039;t have! it gave me so much unnecessary anxiety. i took 4 ibuprofen beforehand and felt no pain at all, if anything it was uncomfortable. the whole thing was over in 2-3 minutes and i had almost no cramping. i kept up on my ibuprofen every 3-4 hours and had some bleeding/spotting the day of, but overall i felt great. i even went out for lunch immediately after my appointment. everyone&#039;s body reacts differently and in the end i&#039;m happy with my decision!"
