"so i got the skyla about a month ago and honestly i was terrified but i was pleasantly surprised. the insertion took almost no time at all, and it was pretty uncomfortable for maybe a minute? afterwards i had cramps that weren&#039;t killer but still kind of bad. the cramps went away a day or two later... then i got my period. i have had it for 3 weeks now and my doctor told me not to use a tampon until i had my one month appointment. truthfully that has been the worst part and it better be damn worth it!!! (reading these reviews made the experience x20 worse)"
