birth control
"I just got my Skyla inserted a few hours ago. It was quick, less than five minutes. I've never had a child before, but I was on my period. I did not experience any pain. The cramps people talk about is just your body's reaction to your uterus being poked. It's weird and a little uncomfortable, but only for a minute. I took pain medicine beforehand, and have not had any cramping. Overall it was quick, and painless. Don't let any horror stories stop you from trying it out, you can always tell your doctor to stop if you feel pain. Everyone's body is different."
