"i was scared to death to have my skyla inserted, but after getting it done yesterday, it really was no big deal at all. i took 800mg of ibuprofen an hour before my appointment and that helped me relax quite a bit. my boyfriend came with me to the appointment and held my hand through the whole thing and that helped a lot too. there was some cramping during the insertion but other than that, it wasn&#039;t much worse than having a pap smear done."
