"had skyla inserted 2 weeks ago &amp; it hurt! went in thinking it&#039;d be tolerable but i was wrong (haha). pain would have been 8/10, it felt like horrible horrible cramps. entire process lasted probably 5 minutes, with actual insertion around 30 seconds only - but definitely worth it. i&#039;ve been on the pill for 2 years so for something longer lasting like this and not having to take a pill every day, i love it so far. i&#039;ve also been very lightly spotting for 2 weeks &amp; it just stopped 2 days ago. strange thing is i&#039;ve gained 4 lbs since i got it even though i&#039;ve been exercising a lot more since. i&#039;m not sure if it&#039;s related to the iud, hopefully not.. my bf does feel the iuc during rough sex however it doesn&#039;t seem to bother him much."
