"like another girl said, don&#039;t read these reviews if you are about to get skyla. i am only writing my own personal experience of it so that girls who have the same heavy periods and weird cervical issues know what to expect. my doctor was a pro and it only took ten seconds. however, it was painful. don&#039;t let anyone tell you it won&#039;t be because i guarantee every single person who has gotten one in has at least felt a pinch from the cervix opener. that was the most painful part. and i have a high pain tolerance. no kids, 22. but once again, everyone&#039;s body is different. the pain from contractions after was way worse than the insertion. but i will update after a week. i&#039;ve been on almost every pill. take strong pain meds prior and after and sleep!!"
