"I read all these insertion horror stories, and it truly was not that bad. It barely hurt (maybe a 4 or 5 on the pain scale) and I cramped mildly after, then slept it off. I will say ever since I've gotten it I cramped everyday since, nothing severe but I have gotten into a habit of knowing to carry midol or ibuprofen around. I do randomly and I mean RANDOMLY spot, sometimes heavy sometimes light sometimes nothing at all, but prior to having the skyla inserted I did take 3 plan bs in the two months prior so that might also be to blame. Overall, for a month of spotting and mild cramping for years of no babies? I'll take it. "
