"im a 22 year old college student and today, i received my skyla iud. i must say i, i  read so many reviews on the days leading up to my insertion. i was anxious and nervous about the pain and cramping. my nurse practicioner talked me throughout the whole process and i even had a nurse holding my hand. it was absolutely not painful at all, definitely uncomfortable but no pain. i did experience some moderate cramping but that subsided after 30 seconds. i&#039;m only on day 1 so i don&#039;t know what the next few days will hold but i&#039;m expecting some cramping. all in all, don&#039;t be afraid to get this like i was!"
