"i just got my skyla put in (8/2/16) and honestly, it really comes down to how well you can handle pain. i handle pain fairly well and it did cause discomfort as the procedure occurred. my doctor explained it to me in 3 steps. measuring your uterus, holding your cervix, and insertion, which means only 3 really tough cramps. 



luckily, i was able to drive myself home right after and haven&#039;t felt any kind of discomfort. so far, i&#039;m really loving it and i&#039;d say do your research, ask your physician and if everything&#039;s checks out, do it. the pain is well worth it."
