"i got skyla inserted this morning. i was nervous going in a little bit but was optimistic. i used the pills the night before to soften my cervix. (i don&#039;t know if it really did anything though)i went in, my doctor cleaned my cervix. my doctor measured inside my uterus, it was a little uncomfortable but nothing to bad. then my doctor used a tool to &quot;pinch&quot; my cervix so it will stay open for the insertion part. that was painful! i have gotten piercings and have sat for a back tattoo. the pinching of my cervix was unlike anything i have felt. don&#039;t pysch yourself out though, it only lasts a little while and just try to relax. then she inserted the skyla, which was a tiny pinch/cramp, and she removed all the other things. done!easy!"
