THOSE OF YOU WHO USE A COIL

[mili]

You know the threads that ur suppose to check? Are you suppose to put your hand in in order to feel them? I forgot to ask the gp when she was done, and she didn't mention it. i can't seem to feel them.

dear me, the young ones these days, what is the world coming to!

i got her to check mine at my smear

am sure they disappear more the longer you haev them

i just got them yesterday

yes - you have to shove your hand up I'm afraid

best to do it lying down in bed I found - the strings often lie around the walls of your vagina so don't expect them to be dangling in the middle

thanks fox

i check mine once a month, can just about feel them but they're only short. try checking when you're in the shower, sometimes the angle can make them disappear. or if not, get your partner to do it . if you can't feel them it doesn't mean there's a problem or anything, and yours should be fine if you've just had it checked with a gp. they may just be short and not poking through the cervix

lance exactly what so ing?

i thought ur suppose to check andthat it would be just inside

I didn't have a coil for long but was quite surprised how far up the strings were

mine felt a bit like wire (slightly softer) - I could just feel the prick of the end of the strings on my finger - not like being able to feel a whole string iyswim

so the gp isn't suppose to/need to tell what position their to be in? so why did all those leaflets say they will tell and if they're not in position, they may(?) not be effevtive?
really! i wish they wouldn't worry us (me) with all these details that u could ignor

I think you are supposed to be able to feel them - sometimes they really wrap around the walls so can be hard to find

you can feel them really easily!

godness gracious, shocking

god I never feel mine and its been in a year cant bring myself to do it

lance??????????

does that mean i can go without checking? (please say yes)

I've never checked mine either

I'm a bit squeamish about putting me hand up

I think if you don't want to check, you don't have to

I was so terrified of the thing falling out and me getting pregnant that I made sure it was there quite a bit

Don't worry think it is someone, pretending to be a bloke, pretending to be horrified at "wimins talk"

you have to check to make sure they're still there doing the job! why are you all scared to?

perry, its okay then will ignore her/him
not exactly scared, just squimish. i didn't realise u had to put ur hand in. i just got worried when i couldn't feel anything in the opening.

so do u just make sure u can feel them? not worry where they are?

no harm meant lass. Just us old lads aren't used to talking about women's troubles.

I'm off to have a root around Win's garden now anyway

surely one would notice if it fell out? it's not that small!
