"im 22 years old, getting married and have not had sex also i have terrible cramps and miss work so i decided to get the iud because i suffer from migraines and can&#039;t take pills with estrogen. when the doctor measured my uterus it was incredibly painful. everything went dark for a moment. the doctor told me to take deep breaths. she inserted the skyla it felt as if i had the worst cramps of my life. the strong pain lasted a few minutes. i really felt overwhelmed/anxious my breathing was shallow it was hard to catch my breath. i turned pale warm and sweaty so i had to lay down and drink juice for a while. the cramps lasted about and hour and came back later in the day. today i only feel bloated and the bleeding stopped. i hope for the best."
