"this will be graphic so you can know what could happen if you get this iud. i have not had children. when the pa put skyla in, by opening my cervix (hurts extremely bad), she described it as a few cramps but it was nothing like a cramp to me. (i told my sister and she said it is more like contractions.) i cried out in pain and the pa tells me that some women pass out from it because it effects a nerve that can make you pass out, vomit, have diarrhea, etc. she didn&#039;t tell me any of that before! i felt so sick, i couldn&#039;t walk out of the place until i went to the bathroom to throw up. i also had the other side effect before i left. since then, i have cramps and spotting regularly. after sex, i have cramping. i wish i wouldn&#039;t have gotten it."
