"i had skyla inserted about 3 months ago, and i&#039;m so glad i did. the process for me was not painful, mostly uncomfortable. like a really long pap. i took aleve about an hour before my appointment and i was fine. i was really scared due to listening to the horror stories but in the end i was fine. i was even able to go to work afterwards and completed my entire day. the cramping i experienced was no worse than the cramps i get for my period and i took medication throughout the day to control it. periods were happening every two weeks but have gotten lighter and lighter. i recommend, changed my life."
