"i just got my skyla iud inserted today. my gyno said i had to be on my menstrual cycle in order to get the insertion. so about 30mins before my appointment i took 1000mg of a pain reliever, since i&#039;ve read many women do. however, my gyno did not recommend me to take anything. anyways i was one of those girls looking up everything i could about skyla, reading good and also bad comments. i was nervous. unfortunately i was not one of the lucky ones that didn&#039;t feel anything. it hurt me, i had horrible cramps while i was getting it inserted. it did go very fast though, maybe 30-45seconds. it hurt but by the time i knew it, it was in ☺ after i had a sonogram to make sure it was in place (which is was). i&#039;ve been having mild cramps since."
