"i decided to go with skyla due to the slightly smaller size. i&#039;m 27 years old and have no children, nor have i ever been pregnant. i had the skyla placed this morning by my obgyn, and i must say, it was a breeze. i will note that my provider prescribed cytotec vaginally for the night before and morning of the procedure. apparently this medication dilates the cervix and makes it easier for implantation. on a scale of one to ten, i&#039;d be reluctant to even say it was a two. honestly, my pap smear was more painful. i&#039;m hopeful that the next few weeks will go as smoothly. however, as of right now, i highly recommend skyla. ladies, don&#039;t let the horror stories freak you out."
