"getting skyla inserted was a breeze. from the moment she started insertion to the moment she was done was probably around 90 seconds, with 30 seconds of that having any sort of pain. if you&#039;ve ever had bad period cramps, you know what it&#039;ll feel like. there&#039;s about 3 very intense, but bearable, cramps that feel just like a bad period cramp. as long as you breathe through them and stay relaxed, they are no biggie. after she was done i sat up slowly and felt 100% fine. i drove 2 hours back to school with no issue. for the first 48 hours i have very mild cramping that easily went away with advil and some spotting. its been a week and i feel great. i am experiencing a small breakout, but that could also be due to stress and eating like crap."
