Question

For those who got their expired IUD removed and a new one: did you do it all at one appointment? I thought I was going to be getting my old one taken out and a new one inserted but they said they don’t do that. Why?! Why would I go through that twice? So I opted to keep it in because I’m not sexually active and am getting the nuva ring to prevent my consistent ovarian cysts.

It’s probably that they need to make sure your insurance will cover it first. I thought I’d be able to get mine on my 6 week post baby visit but turned out that I had to schedule it for a later date. They essentially have to order it like a prescription

That makes sense.

My OB told me at my last appt that it can be done same day. Mine is not expiring for another few years. I use Mirena.

Hmmm. I wonder if it was because they were very busy. It took an hour for them to see me.
