"hey ya&#039;ll! i wanted to share my experience since i looked at these religiously prior to going. i got skyla yesterday around 2 o&#039;clock. i took 800 mg of ibuprofen around 1:15, prior to my appointment. when i went in the entire experience was an absolute breeze. she walked in, told me the risks, set up, and inserted skyla, all within 7 minutes. i felt a slight period type cramp when she used the sound to measure my uterus, and then a another cramp when she inserted skyla. the cramp on both occasions did not last longer than thirty seconds. i felt absolutely fine after and even went out to dinner and to a professional baseball game! everyone is different but don&#039;t worry too much - you&#039;ll do great!"
