Coil - excruciating fitting
Posted: Sat Mar 17, 2018 8:46 am
Hi I’ve got the Jaydess coil fitted which is great. I’ve never got on with the pill, the patch or depo injections so it was a relief to find another option. However, I’ve had it fitted twice now after having the last one for 3 years, but each time I find the fitting process excruciating. Having it taken out was painful but very quick so bearable. Last time I had gas and air while they re-fitted it but I still found it unbearable and couldn’t lie still while they fitted it because I was in agony. The time before they used a local anaesthetic but that didn’t do very much. I’ve had various unrelated operations before so I have had to tolerate pain before but this is nothing like I’ve experienced previously. When I’m next due to have it exchanged are there any options to make it less painful? Otherwise I won’t be able to have it put back in. I would be prepared to go privately to ensure a pain free process. I haven’t had children, and I don’t plan to but I’m 36 so not ready to consider sterilisation. Thanks in advance for any advice.
