Levonorgestrel
birth control
"I got the skyla inserted three days ago and I have to say, it really wasn't bad. (I've never been pregnant btw) Yes, it hurt for a few seconds but nothing like the unbearable pain that some women are talking about. I completely understand that each person is going to have a different experience but if you are thinking about this type of birth control, don't rule it out for fear of pain. For me, the insertion felt pretty similar to period cramping. Not a cakewalk but if you're used to horrendous period cramps, very very tolerable. I have some cramping still but it is very manageable; I can get rid of it with a heating pad. and I cry when I get shots so you know I have a low pain tolerance. All in all a good experience I'm happy!"
