where to get a coil change in camberwell / peckham/ dulwich ?

[Asteroidneenee]

Hi

I called the camberwell health clinic and they told me they aren't doing coil change... which is weird because I called in october and they say they were doing it ....

so what are the other cheap option please?

did you not ask them - or your doctor - where you could go?

I would never go back to the Camberwell health clinic, long waiting times, you get a consultation and then book in again for further appointments and another few hours wait. Mine was extremely painful and ended up having a scan in kings due to the new coil thread missing. Luckily it was still in situ but when they take it out in a few years I will probably need sedation. Gp would have been much better I would say in hindsight

It sounds like a mirena!

Mirena IUS and Paraguard IUD (copper coil) are similar sizes. Jaydess is the smaller IUS recently available, which may be easier to fit for some women.

Many GPs won't fit a coil because it's a specialist procedure, and a "blind" procedure, so their experience and competence needs to be extra high as a gyne practitioner for coils. If your GP doesn't have a gyne background, then they're not likely to do this procedure.

I know it's not the area you're looking for, but I use the Waldron sex health clinic in New Cross, and they have been excellent. If you go for a walk-in, expect a long wait. Or, you can book an appointment. xx

You can go to the drop in at King's Sexual Health clinic (which does involve queuing in the street!), but best place I've found - by a country mile - is the Margaret Pyke centre at Kings Cross. It's bloody miles away, and makes for a sore bus ride home, but they are fab and you can make an appointment.

Thanks for the reply

i had exactly this problem a couple of years ago. You can't make an appointment at Camberwell so have to queue to get an appointment and then come back. Nightmare. I don't understand how the family planning service works in Southwark.

My doctor at the 306 medical Centre does it, 306 lordship lane .
