birth control
"I had the Skyla implant done on October 19th 2015. It was by far more painful than I was imagining it was going to be. I had started my period the day before and I was only spotting. I wasn't told to take any pain medicine before I went, but after reading the review on this site I wish I had. I was given pain medication to numb the area but it didn't seem to help at all. It took my OB about 5-7 minutes to insert the device and while he had the applicator in me it was the worst pain I've ever experienced. I kept covering my mouth because I was practically screaming because of the pain. It felt like the doctor had a stick and was just moving around in my cervix and my stomach. Terrible cramping for the first 2 days but no more pills for me!"
