"i had skyla placed about three weeks ago. the actual procedure wasn&#039;t awful at all. some numbing gel was used during the procedure and i barely felt a thing. afterwards, i began to cramp and bleed lightly. i spotted for a few hours and it stopped. i haven&#039;t bled since. for about four to seven days after the procedure i was uncomfortable. i had lots of cramping, soreness, bloating, fatigue and a bit of a fever. these symptoms stayed for several days but lessened as time went on. i am currently feeling some discomfort and have been for the past three or four days. i&#039;m attributing these symptoms to a &#039;ghost period&#039;. i am having period symptoms but not bleeding. hoping it will stop within the next couple of days."
