"i just recently had skyla inserted today. i&#039;m not going to lie.. the insertion did hurt! however, the pain didn&#039;t even last 30 seconds. it wasn&#039;t as bad as i expected it to be. afterwards, i&#039;ve only had minor cramping that would be the same as it is on my period. i took 1,000mg of ibuprofen about an hour before my visit. my doctor also said there is absolutely no reason to use condoms anymore besides protecting against std&#039;s because skyla is so effective on its own! hope this helps anyone who is wondering whether or not skyla is right for them..!"
