"i just got my skyla inserted yesterday. i&#039;m 27 and no children. just a reminder everyone&#039;s body is different so it will react differently. i was given a pill for the day before to open up my cervix. (i suggest drinking ibuprofen 30 minutes before, my doctor suggested it but i forgot) the procedure itself is very short. in my experience it was painful. i could feel how tense my body got and felt as if i was going to pass out also had nausea for the most part of the after the iud. the process took about 3-5 minutes and after they did an ultrasound just to make sure it was in place. i cramped all day yesterday stayed in bed and drank some pills. i&#039;m now on day two don&#039;t have any side effects besides mild cramping and light spotting."
