"i had my skyla iud inserted a little over a week ago. the insertion hurt but not nearly as bad as i was expecting. it felt like a very severe period cramp. i took two tylenol before the insertion which helped. i was able to drive myself back home from the appointment. i had horrible cramping for the rest of the day but that was gone the next morning when i woke up. since then i have had some light cramping here and there but nothing too bad. i have also had spotting every day which is normal. i switched to this after 5 years of being on the pill. i was having constant headaches and high blood pressure the past 6 months. as soon as i stopped the pill and got skyla my headaches are gone for the most part and my blood pressure is normal."
