"I just had skyla inserted this morning. The pamphlets said cramping would last about 30 minutes but this is false. I decided on Skyla because I am bad at remembering to take pills are reorder perscriptions, I figure the iud is flinging to be more effective. I am 19 and have never had kids, and the actual insertion was painful but extremely fast. My doctor gave me a prescription to soften the cervix before the procedure, I took ibuprofen and she used lidocaine during the procedure (this is not typical but she said it would help). I have had severe cramps nonstop since the procedure, and ibuprofen isn't cuttin it. Obviously everyone reacts differently to meds, but if you're considering getting this, be prepared for the possibility of pain."
