"i did a lot of research before getting my skyla put in &amp; i felt as if i was making a great choice although i was very scared of the insertion due to reading reviews. it actually wasn&#039;t that bad. the pinch of my cervix was the least painful thing. the dilation of my cervix is what hurt the most! the procedure only took about 3 minutes. the only problem i had was that my strings were way too long but my doctor fixed that. i had my first period about three days after insertion &amp; it was a bit heavy &amp; cramps. after about 5 days i had no more bleeding until the next months period. it was a lot lighter than normal. hopefully by my next period i will have nothing at all. i recommend this bc! i do not regret my decision."
