"please don&#039;t let these reviews scare you! i read 2 hours worth of these horror stories before i got mine and i almost decided not to get it. i had my skyla inserted 2 days ago. i&#039;m 19 and have never had kids. my doctor and nurses were very helpful with the process and answered about 1,000 questions that i had going into this. the actual insertion is not bad. i&#039;ve had very bad cramps since i started my period so maybe that&#039;s why i could handle it. it almost feels like you&#039;re getting a bad cramp and you have to poop at the same time but it goes away in under a minute. after the insertion i felt completely fine. i was scheduled to work that night and other than being slightly uncomfortable there was no serious pain. i&#039;ve yet to have spotting."
