"i got my skyla about 6 hours ago, so this is only in reference to insertion. i almost cancelled 5 minutes before my appointment because of these reviews, and it wasn&#039;t bad at all! the slightest cramping for maybe 10 seconds twice during a 5 minute time period. i did start to get cramps when i got home that started somewhat painful but have been getting slowly better. i&#039;ve never had cramps before with my periods and i don&#039;t think they&#039;re awful. only thing i don&#039;t like is i can&#039;t wear a tampon for 48 hours, i feel very uncomfortable and i&#039;m worried about infection from being too damp (i&#039;m on my period because they suggested i be for insertion). hoping my bleeding stops as my normal period would, will keep updated."
