Waited about 15-20 minutes to get called in for my appointment. When I came in the lady was nice and explained the procedure to me, let me know what to expect etc.
We first did an ultrasound as I have tried to get it removed some time ago but it wouldn’t come out, then I was told to take a pregnancy test which came back negative. Afterwards we moved on to taking the IUD out.
The procedure didn’t take too long, explained the procedure in steps so I didn’t get surprised by any pain. It was painful but nothing too major, did react to the pain at one point but the staff was lovely and apologised. Didn’t feel lightheaded afterwards or anything.
The lady who stood next to me asked questions and it was distracting which helped with the pain side of it, and it was fun to show my tattoos to her.
After it was done I was told to lie down for a couple minutes just in case I felt lightheaded.
Overall I think the staff are very lovely and informative. I was in there for about 20-30 minutes and felt completely fine afterwards.
