birth control
"Okay, so before going into my appointment to have Skyla inserted I made the decision to read through reviews on the Internet (reviews on the pain associated with the implant being put in). Firstly, I will say that some of the reviews I read scared me to death. Then I would read some that were reassuring saying pain was not experienced. So here's my experience: the implant wasn't painful but was uncomfortable. I would describe the experience as a severe cramp. It lasted for only a few seconds. I do deal with severe cramps while on my period so I think I responded better to the progress of having it placed. Also, I had it inserted while on my period, therefore my cervix was more open. That way the IUD would go in a little more easily."
