Coil

I have had a coil for 6 years I used to bleed at first then stopped. However I recently had a heavy period I checked for my string but I can't find them. I've tried to get into see my gp but there is no one in my surgery able to deal with coils. I tried to get in the clinic but due to my shift patten and no available appointments wasn't able to get in. I also feel abit embarrassed about going to a walk in clinic any advice please x

Have you tried to feel again?

Other than that, it's walk in or Gp I'm afraid. No need to be embarrassed. Better to get it checked. Best wishes 💗

Best thing I can recommend is a walk in clinic cos everything is confidential and there will be someone there who is trained and for piece of mind too
