"i&#039;m 25, never had kids and i got my skyla inserted on jan 6 2016. insertion was painful (but you can do it). that only lasts a couple of minutes which is good. the worst was the aftermath. i was hot, sweaty, in pain to where i couldn&#039;t move, thought i was going to vomit or pass out. they had to give me crackers and juice to stop me from shaking and sat me in a recliner with a heating pad. this helped a lot but i still had to get someone to pick me up. i was better a few hours later but still crampy. the most annoying part after the first day was the spotting. but now i think i&#039;m on my actual period (the bleeding is heavier) and the cramps are no joke - definitely worse than before. i hope this subsides soon. i can&#039;t lie i&#039;m nervous for sex."
