Any Skyla users?

Question

I'm getting the skyla inserted on March 1! Anyone have it, and any tips about dealing with the pain. I hear it's bad if you've never had kids. I'll be switching from the nuvaring.

Thanks!!

Answer

I got the Skyla back in November. They gave me something to mellow me out because I can't deal with the pain. The worst part is measuring the cervix. It feels like cramps. But my experience was awful because they couldn't grab ahold of it so it was severe cramps. But once they actually put it in, it didn't hurt. I spotted a little after. Then they gave me an ibuprofen. I've noticed that my cramps have gotten a lot worse since then but it's only for a day. My periods have gotten a lot less heavy and it's nice not having to worry about it at all.

Answer

I agree with the above, the measuring of your uterus is the worst part. After the skyla was inserted I actually felt like I had to poop really bad but couldnt. My discomforts went away within 3-4 hours. Don't stress yourself, everyone takes a small amount of discomfort/pain differently!
