Why Choose IUD with Sedation?
Choosing an IUD insertion under sedation at GCA Gosford is focused on enhancing your comfort. We provide complimentary sedation services designed specifically to reduce the discomfort and anxiety associated with IUD insertions, helping to make the experience as calm and stress-free as possible.
Sedation during the insertion not only eases the physical process but will help to soothe any nerves, allowing you to be more relaxed and comfortable throughout. This careful consideration in our approach helps to improve the overall procedure and supports a quicker recovery by reducing stress-related complications.
Our commitment to providing sedation reflects our dedication to high standards of patient care and safety. This service is an integral part of how we ensure a positive and less daunting experience for you.

IUD Options
Before your appointment at GCA Gosford, you’ll need to pick up your prescribed IUD from a pharmacy, which your GP will arrange for you. We assist with the insertion of both hormonal and non-hormonal copper IUDs, each offering distinct benefits and proven long-term effectiveness.
What to Expect: The IUD Insertion Process
At our Gosford clinic, the IUD insertion process is streamlined and efficient, with both the consultation and the procedure occurring on the same day:
Consultation and Preparation:
Upon arrival, you will have a consultation where we discuss your health, the IUD you have brought, and go over the procedure details. This time is crucial for ensuring you feel informed and comfortable with the steps ahead. We’ll also discuss sedation options to help make the procedure as comfortable as possible for you.
The IUD Insertion:
Following the consultation, we proceed with the IUD insertion. Our experienced team will guide you through every step, using techniques that minimise discomfort. Sedation will be administered as discussed to ensure you remain relaxed and as comfortable as possible throughout.
Post-Procedure Care:
Immediately after the insertion, we provide you with comprehensive aftercare instructions. This guidance covers how to manage any discomfort and what normal post-procedure symptoms might look like, as well as when to seek additional medical advice.
Our goal is to make your experience as supportive and clear as possible, ensuring you leave our clinic well-informed and cared for.
Preparing for Your IUD Insertion
Preparation steps include:
- Fasting for 6 hours (only water is permitted up to 2 hours before).
- Bringing necessary medical documents and your IUD.
- Arranging for someone to accompany and drive you home after the procedure as you cannot drive for 24 hours after the procedure.
