Copper Coil under GA?

[Heiidi]

Hi, haven’t been here for a while.

Long story short, I’m a 20 year old and miscarried my twins in December.

I have had a very limited gynaecology history until my pregnancy. It was a hard pregnancy, and even harder miscarriage where just too many things went wrong.

I felt okay after the miscarriage but come a few months later, had a gynaecology appointment and I freaked out. A big freak out. I woke up with my first ever migraine, agony, throwing up, the works. And that was for a 5 minute appointment.

I am TERRIFIED of getting pregnant again. Despite this pregnancy awakening maternal instincts inside of me, I can’t get pregnant at this stage in my life.

I’ve tried hormonal implants but it won’t work for me. Copper coil suits me best but Injust can’t even ring to make the appointment without losing it.

Im willing to pay anything. I just need to get a copper coil inside of me but Inknow I can’t be awake.

Does anyone have any advice? Any clinic literally anywhere in the UK I can go to? I’m based in Wales but Inwill go anywhere.

Would a private GP put it in under GA? Ring a few clinics and ask them. I got one put in with local anaesthetic and I felt nothing.

Why can't you be awake OP? It really isn't that bad

have you asked your gynaecologist if it can be done on a GA list? We do all sorts of 'minor' procedures under GA, reflecting that for some people they really aren't minor at all. At the very least there's no harm in asking.

As mentioned in my post, I had a traumatising miscarriage and now cannot handle any type of gynaecology procedure without having panic attacks, migraines, etc. I physically would not be able to relax enough to let the procedure happen.

Mirena coil can be totally put in under GA. Try and make it to your GP if you can x

I haven’t… if i’m being honest my GP has been wildly dismissive and I had a really poor experience in regards to a suspicious lump on my cervix. I will give them another go though, definitely worth the shot :) thank you.

And perhaps some therapy or body work to try and let go of the trauma. It's very hard and I'm sorry you suffered such a horrible miscarriage
