"getting skyla put in felt like the worst pain of my life. the insertion is beyond painful. when my gyno told me to cough i did, but then i screamed and started crying because the pain was excruciating (i&#039;m assuming like childbirth). then the cramping afterward was so bad my boyfriend had to carry me out the door. i got the iud because my period cramps were so bad i couldn&#039;t stand. since insertion i&#039;ve had no cramps! my cramps are gone, my periods are regular, and i have no problems. i am however dreading 3 months when i have to get it replaced! but i would do it all over again because it&#039;s the best option in the long term."
