Birth Control
"My doctor gave me an 800 mg Ibuprofen about an hour before insertion.  While they attempted to insert the Mirena (which I had originally planned on getting) I experienced horrible pain for nearly 10 minutes.  I&#039;m 20 and have never had children and it was one of the most painful experiences of my entire life.  I usually have very painful period cramps and this still felt much worse.  Finally, they asked if I&#039;d rather have the Skyla, which is smaller and might accommodate my tiny cervix better.  In comparison, the Skyla insertion was much quicker and less painful.  After the procedure I did throw up once due to the intense pain, but after a few days I experienced little to no side effects.  I do recommend taking the day off of work though."
