Preparing for your IUCD insertion appointment
-
Let us know if you need your IUCD for emergency contraception as we'll need to book your appointment as soon as possible.
-
The best time for insertion is towards the end of your menstrual period and the couple of days after although often this doesn't matter at all.
-
Please use barrier contraception for 7 days before and 7 days after your insertion date (unless you're on hormonal contraception, in which case its ok to stop it after 7 days).
-
Take some paracetamol and ibuprofen an hour before your appointment to help with post procedure pain relief.
-
You're welcome to bring a support person with you.
Do You Qualify for Funding?
-
Enrolled and casual patients: You may be eligible for a subsidised insertion if you meet certain criteria.
-
Unfunded enrolled and casual patients: You're welcome too — just ask us about costs.
-
Please note, this is not a specialist service so check with your medical insurer whether GP IUCD insertions are covered by your policy (some are, even if your policy is "specialist only").
