"i just got skyla placed a couple of hours ago. i went to my local planned parenthood. prior i read the reviews on here and completely freaked myself out and almost canceled my appointment. i went in very nervous. but it was 100% fine. it hurt. like a bad menstrual cramp and there was a sharp pinch. i took 800mg of ibuprofen before hand, and i was on day 3 of my period. a nurse stood next to me and chatted with me throughout the proceedure, and they gave me a heating pad. it was 30 seconds tops of pain which i could easily breath through. i&#039;ve had what basically feels like a constant cramp since then, but nothing bad. a heating pad is all i need and i feel fine. i&#039;ve never had children. i&#039;d definitely recommend skyla."
