birth control
"Im 21 with no kids, and got Skyla inserted yesterday. Before my procedure I did all my research and was very nervous when I read others people's experience. Before my appointment I took 4 pills of Ibuprofen. I was really nervous, however it was not that bad. The first part, which the doctor measures  your cervix, just feels like a bad menstrual cramp. Its not pleasant but is tolerable. Next she inserted the Skyla. This part lasted about 3 minutes with long intesne cramps, after she was finished the pain was gone. On the ride home I did experience cramps but I was still able to function. Everyones pain tolerance is different, but from my experience it did not hurt that bad."
