birth control
"**I got skyla inserted yesterday. I cancelled several appointments and prolonged the procedure because of hearing horror stories. I did not take any pain medicine and I did not get pain medicine injected prior to insertion. I was extremely nervous.

Honestly, it hurt but it wasn't unbearable. It was a very severe cramping/pinching feeling for about 10 seconds. If you are worried about the extremely painful part- it lasts 10 seconds. That's it. If you are worried about afterwards, I was sweating and felt dizzy for about 30 minutes after procedure.  I was cramping all day and still am today but I would get these bad cramps the first 2 days of my period anyway. Was it so painful I regret doing it, no! Hopefully no future negative side effects"
