"i just had the skyla iud inserted yesterday, and i have to say after reading reviews, and anticipating the worse, i was relieved that it was not nearly as bad as imagined. overall the insertion was a bit uncomfortable -- mostly the speculum (she had to adjust it to find my cervix multiple times). she also used numbing spray that stung for a minute, but nothing too bad. only parts i really felt was when she measured (this hurt worse than the iud) and the iud insertion itself. it was just a little pinch. i got a little dizzy afterwards, but drank my lemonade and laid down for a bit. i recommend this if you are debating due to the insertion, not bad as you think! i cramped for the night and went to work today no problem!"
