Process of Contraceptive Coil Fitting: After your initial appointment and discussion with the doctor we will fit your IUD the following week with medication to use before insertion. This second appointment makes the cervix is more pliable to fit the coil. The coil fitting procedure will take roughly twenty minutes.

The takeaway You or your partners shouldn't feel an IUD during sex, although your partners may feel the strings. Although rare, IUDs can move.

The copper IUD does not prevent ovulation, so you will still experience a menstrual period. But it is common for people to experience heavier or longer periods, as well as unscheduled spotting or bleeding, during the first few months of use (10,14).

Changes to your periods are common in the first 3 to 6 months after an IUD is put in. For example, your periods may be heavier, longer or more painful. But they're likely to settle down after this. You might get spotting or bleeding between periods.

Your periods may become irregular or stop completely, which may not be suitable for some people. Some people experience headaches, acne and breast tenderness after having the IUS fitted, but these usually settle with time.

Period Resumes If you no longer had your period while your IUD was inserted, your period will return after IUD removal. This may happen relatively quickly, or it may take a few months. You might also experience irregular periods for a few months after the removal.

The FSRH guidelines have reviewed their advice on how long you can use some hormonal and non-hormonal coils.
