What to Expect

Your IUD Options

Before your appointment, you’ll need to pick up your IUD from a pharmacy, which must be prescribed by your GP. We’re here to help with the insertion of both hormonal and copper IUDs, each offering reliable, long-term contraception that’s reversible. We’re committed to making your experience as smooth and comfortable as possible.

What to Expect: The IUD Insertion Process

At GCA Wollongong, our IUD insertion process prioritises your comfort from start to finish. On the day of your procedure, you’ll start with a consultation where our skilled healthcare professionals will explain the insertion process and discuss the sedation options. This ensures you are fully prepared and comfortable before proceeding. Once the insertion is complete, we provide comprehensive post-care instructions, which help you manage recovery and address any post-insertion discomfort effectively.

Preparing for Your IUD Insertion

Here’s how you can prepare for your appointment:

Please fast for 6 hours prior to your appointment; water is allowed up to 2 hours before.
Bring any important medical documents and the IUD prescribed by your GP and obtained from your pharmacy.
Arrange for a companion to accompany you, as you will not be able to drive until the next day and should not go home unaccompanied.

Sedation and Safety

Your safety is paramount at GCA Wollongong. We administer IV sedation under strict safety protocols, overseen by qualified anaesthesiologists. This approach ensures a controlled and secure experience. If you have any concerns about sedation, our caring staff is ready to address them, ensuring you feel secure and well-informed.
