Coil removal

Due to have my coil removed tomorrow as I’m having unbearable bleeding (I didn’t think before that it could get worse but I was wrong) awful moods and acne & horrendous pain! Although when I had my check up 6 weeks after I was told that my strings were too short. And when I try to feel them, I can’t find them would this affect them taking it out simply ?

Hi! No, that shouldn't affect the removal at all - the strings are left so you can feel that the coil is still in place. They aren't used to remove the coil, that will be done in the same way it was put in (assuming u you didn't have it put in during a lap!!)

I was never able to feel the strings on my last coil, or my current one for that matter, but as long as its in the right place it'll be fine! Good luck x

Thanks for your reply! Yes I did have it inserted during a lap does this make a difference ? Xx

No, can't imagine it would make a difference at all as it will still sit in the same place! It will be similar to a smear test to get it out. Good luck x
