"hello! i am 21 and i had my skyla put in over 6 months ago. i took two ibuprofen before going to the doctor. the insertion was painful for about 30 seconds (really bad cramping). about an hour later i had some bleeding then some heavy cramps, but after taking midol they went away. i bled for about 4 weeks straight and had some pretty bad cramps during that time. after that, my period became normal (only once a month for 4-5 days with light to normal bleeding). i do experience some bad cramping from time to time, mostly before my period and a few days after it stops, but after taking midol or aleve, it goes away. i also have a history of ovarian cysts and endometriosis but have not had any problems with that since my skyla! i recommend this!"
