birth control
"I got the Skyla inserted on about day 5 of my period and I was still having a pretty heavy flow. My doctor had me put the Cytotec into my vagina the night before to soften my cervix. That night I took about 400 mg of Ibuprofen because I didn't know if it would cause cramping. I felt nothing from the pill and wasn't in pain. So I went to get the Skyla put in and my doctor said the pill had worked and my cervix was soft. My doctor numbed my cervix which really was uncomfortable because I hate getting shots especially there. I'm not really sure if the numbing did much as I still felt discomfort. The pain was very mild for me though, it just felt someone was poking as far up you as they could possibly go. The procedure was very quick though."
