birth control
"I wanted to come on here to share my experience because I too read many of these reviews that made me very nervous about the process. I had Skyla inserted this morning and it was the easiest procedure. The night before, I had to insert a pill vaginally to soften my cervix, and an hour before the procedure took a prescribed pain killer and Ativan with a light meal. I believe it's very important to follow these instructions, as well as be on your period, for the easiest and least painful experience. My doctor was an expert with it, and talked me through each step. I felt cramping and a pinching pain, but in all, the discomfort lasted about 20 seconds. Afterwards, I felt mild cramping, but I feel no pain at all 6 hrs later. Highly recommend!"
