"i got skyla 2 days ago and was really nervous before my appointment because i read all of the reviews that same morning. i took 2 ibuprofen before. the application felt like a regular pap smear at first and it lasted about 30 seconds, i was surprised when he said he was done. it was painful but bearable, i felt 3 extremely severe cramps and it was over after that. i&#039;ve had cramps for the past 2 days, and they&#039;re nothing like the minor cramps i used to experience with my regular period. loss of appetite and moody because of the cramps but it&#039;s not that bad."
