"i just got the skyla put in today and it honestly was not nearly as bad as i thought it was going to be. after reading all the reviews before hand i was really nervous but i did what my doctor instructed which was to take 800 mg of ibuprofen and eat an hour before my appointment and i was fine! yes there is cramping but nothing unbearable at all. so far so good! i just thought that i would share my experience of the insertion on here so some girls won&#039;t be as scared and worried like i was before going in! everyone is different but this was my experience."
