"it has been two weeks since my skyla insertion.  the insertion was most people described.  more than just discomfort.  after the insertion, i immediately had to sit.  i was nauseous, sweating, and experiencing tremendous cramps. i opened the patient room door to let the nurses know i was not doing so hot.   luckily, i have a wonderful doctor&#039;s office.   they had me lie down with the lights out with some water and a couple 800mg ibuprofen.  my nurse assured me she had the exact same reaction.  i have had cramping since my procedure (some day its awful, some days manageable).  i am hoping they will subside soon.  i am happy to be off the pill.  i have been taking it for 16 years and am happy to not be ingesting all that extra estrogen."
