"hey all, i just wanted to share my experience because i was so scared to get skyla at first because of all the negative reviews. i&#039;ve had mine for a week now. the insertion process is hard (be sure to take off work after) i had severe cramps for about 4 hours and then minor cramping the next day. since then i have had basically no pain. me and my boyfriend waited 5 days before having intercourse and there was no pain when we did (yay!) i still am spotting which is kind of annoying but overall, i&#039;m really happy with this."
