Copper Coil

Help needed please.

Due to have the copper coil fitted tomorrow. Wasn't due to start my period until Friday....but just when you don't want it to it arrived today 🙈

I rang the clinic this morning to see what I should do. They said I can still have it fitted....I really don't know what to do...I've already waited 6 weeks for this appointment and the next appointment would be another 4 weeks. I just want to get it over and done with but feel a tad gross...whilst I'm on my period. Sorry for the TMI 🙈

Anyone had the same experience?

I have - I gave birth December and coil was in by January and I hadn't actually stopped bleeding since December to be honest it didn't make any difference, I had psyched myself up it was going to be an awful experience and 1 minute in the nurse was like right ok all done - I was in shock it was so quick and was no where near as bad as I thought.
