"wanted to share my insertion of kyleena. i had a nurse practitioner insert mine. i took 800mg of ibuprofen prior to appointment. i only felt two sharp cramps during the whole process. one when she measured and two when it was inserted. took less than 2 minutes for the entire procedure. i would describe the whole procedure as mildly uncomfortable.  i immediately could sit up and drive myself home. it&#039;s been about 3 hours now and all i feel is a little crampy. i had mine placed during my period.  would do it again, especially since it lasts 5 years!"
