I had my first yesterday.
I was so anxious after hearing all the horror stories that a lot of woman have experienced and I watched a few YouTube videos of the procedure to ensure I knew what I was going to experience but it only made me worse. I went into the room in tears. But I was met by the most amazing nurses who reassured me. My doctor was awesome too. He reminded me of the pros of this procedure and ensured me that I am in the driving seat and at any point I found it too painful we could stop and a new appointment could be made for sedation and procedure. He also said as I had never been in labour or given birth that it may be too difficult to go in and I may require him to stop and rebook.
I went into the room and the tiles above my head were decorated with butterflies and celebrities faces were on them and we laughed and joked the whole way through my procedure. I felt very little discomfort, the worst I felt was after the initial procedure and biopsy. We had decided my best treatment would be a coil fitted. I felt the coil insertion more, it was a little more painful but I would do it again in a few weeks if I had too. Right now I’m a little uncomfortable and crampy but it’s nothing compared to the pain I experienced passing the giant clots that put me on the table in the first place.
I wanted to share my story as it was a massive success and I really felt very little discomfort. I hope it helps anyone reading this who is due to undergo the procedure themselves. I mean after all we are all different and all experience things differently.
