"After reading numerous reviews and experiences of Skyla, I wanted to share my own. I was given misoprostol (1/2 tablet) to take at bedtime the night before and the morning of. I was also advised to take ibuprofen prior to the procedure. The process was quick - I was in and out of the exam room in 10 minutes. The actual procedure took less than 2 minutes. I did not experience the pain that other women have mentioned in their reviews. I felt discomfort and pressure, but I would not say it was painful. I believe everyone has a different perception of pain and different pain tolerances, so everyone's' review is going to be different. I did have heavier cramping afterwards for about a day, but overall I am happy with the IUD."
