I had a coil fitted last year and found it was very painful. It brought tears to my eyes and i eventually ended up crying. I could have done with some Gas and Air....really. A gynaecologist i saw once says you can have gas and air when having the coil fitted...wish i could have has this. I had mine fitted in my GPs surgery by a female GP...but god it hurt. Like childbirth, cramps. Am i alone or is this common ?? Dreading the day i have to have it out..will it hurt as much, can i have gas and air. ?? I did have a previous coil fitted many years ago under anaesthetic during a n operation and then had it out at my Gps. It ached a bit but nothing like having my present one fitted.
