Note: Questions marked by * are mandatory


Please ensure these contact details are correct. Unless your coil is being removed in order to become pregnant, it is really important that you aren’t at risk of conceiving by having your coil removed or are already pregnant if your coil is out of date.
For your safety, we must ask some sensitive questions to assess the risks of sexually transmitted infections:
If the answers to any of the infection questions are YES, please visit SH.UK and register to receive an STI screening kit. You can do the STI screen in the comfort of your own home and post as per the instructions. The results will be sent as a text to your mobile.
We will try to call you on two occasions – the number will be displayed as withheld.

Important information

  • Please be prepared to provide a urine specimen on the day, before your procedure.
  • We can remove a coil if you are having your period on the day of the appointment
  • Please ensure you have eaten and been drinking normally before your appointment.
  • You may wish to take some painkillers one hour before your appointment.
  • It is a good idea to bring a sanitary towel or pantyliner to your appointment in case of any bleeding afterwards.
  • Please do not bring any children to the appointment

If there is any risk of pregnancy, it may not be advisable to remove the IUC. 

So, please either abstain from sex or use a reliable method of contraception correctly as advised (reliable methods of contraception do not include withdrawal or fertility awareness methods/apps).
