"i wanted to write a review to share a really positive experience with skyla. a lot of people are writing about extreme cases and obviously everyone is different, but i just had my skyla inserted yesterday and the process was a breeze. much less pain than anticipated. i took 800 mg of ib profin 2 hours before insertion then another 200 mg of ib profin 30 minutes before hand and i hardly felt pain during it. for the rest of the day i certainly had cramps and some bleeding but wasn&#039;t as bad as everyone said. today upon waking up i have no cramps and am so far very happy with my decision. do not let the idea of pain scare you away, it will be okay!"
