"i am 20 years old and i&#039;ve never had children. i got skyla about a month ago because i have gallbladder problems and my body doesn&#039;t like the extra estrogen. no one had warned me about the insertion. it wasn&#039;t the worst pain i&#039;ve ever experienced but it was a lip biter. it also took her awhile to do it. but i wasn&#039;t on my period when i had it inserted because her schedule was booked . i would highly recommend taking some pain reliever before going in just in case. everyone is totally different.  the first week i was a little tender. you should pamper yourself for the day you get it done and the day after. i&#039;ve had light pink spotting and some pain here and there but it&#039;s suppose to be normal."
