"i am an 18 year old girl who has never been pregnant. i wanted a form of birth control that gave me the freedom pills didn&#039;t give me. my doctor suggested skyla iud, since it&#039;s much smaller. i will tell you right now, do not waste your time reading horror stories. i literally spent the night before and today, during my apt reading and i was freaking out. when we finally began the procedure, i was so nervous. i felt intense pressure when she was measuring my cervix (it was 6cm), it was intense but bearable, and once she inserted the iud, all i felt was a sharp period cramp. that&#039;s it!! i can&#039;t believe i was so scared. 
i only took 4 aleves before the procedure, but pls don&#039;t freak out. remember 3 yrs of bc over 2 mins of bearable pain!"
