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important that you aren’t at risk of conceiving by having your coil removed or are already pregnant if your coil is out of date.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 the website SH.UK and register to receive an STI screening kit. You can then do the STI screen in the comfort of your own home and once complete please post as per the instructions. The results will be sent as a text to your mobile phone.

We will try to call you on two occasions – the number will be displayed as withheld.

Further information

  • Please be prepared to provide a urine specimen on the day, prior to 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 prior to the appointment.
  • You may wish to take some painkillers one hour prior to your appointment.
  • It is advisable 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 will not be possible to fit the IUC. So, please either abstain from sex or use a reliable method of contraception correctly for at least 21 days prior to the procedure (reliable methods of contraception do not include withdrawal or fertility awareness methods/apps).
